Take a Kid Ice Fishing Weekend in Minnesota

(KNSI) – This weekend is Take a Kid Ice Fishing Weekend in Minnesota. From Saturday to Monday, adults do not need a license to fish as long as they take a child 15 years old or younger with them.

Year-round, children 15 and younger do not need a fishing license.

“Ice fishing is lots of fun and is another way to enjoy the outdoors,” said Benji Kohn, volunteer mentor program coordinator with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.

The DNR says no ice is 100 percent safe, but there are online resources available for ice safety and ice fishing.
