Fishing

Ladies & gentlemen, start you boat motors -- as the 2018 Minnesota Fishing Opener arrives this weekend.

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is reaching out ahead of next month's fishing opener to promote a new resource for anglers "on-the-go".

Not all of us are die-hard fisherman who plan our weekends around tossing a line into the lake. When fishing a couple times during the year is your interest, these free fishing opportunities are just for you.

Just outside of Pelican Rapids sits a bar in the middle of the lake, on Lake Lida. It's open for everyone to grab a drink, and even enjoy it while you ice fish inside!

A sure-fire way to combat cabin fever is to take advantage of the trout fishing opportunities right here in central Minnesota.

Ice fishing has a huge, almost religious-style following across the entire state of Minnesota, however, it's not the only way to catch that big trophy or dinner.
