Minnesotans Fish Free With Kids Jan. 16-18

Take a Kid Ice Fishing Weekend is this Saturday, Jan. 16, through Monday, Jan. 18.

During the weekend, Minnesota residents age 16 or older can fish or dark-house spear without an angling or spearing license if they take a child younger than 16 fishing or spearing.

“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. “If you’re looking to start ice fishing, check out our helpful information online.”
