Fishing Report

Few fishing reports are available since most anglers have put away their poles until the Minnesota Fishing Opener on May 14. Some anglers, however, have begun fishing Minnesota's streams and rivers, as well as Minnesota lakes that are free of ice.

​

According to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, anglers need to be very cautious due to extremely cold water this time of year. Learn more about cold water dangers.
