REGIONAL—Minnesota’s popular stream trout season opened April 13, with quality fishing opportunities in every region of the state.
Trout anglers can find information on Minnesota’s trout streams and lakes on Minnesota DNR’s website. Anglers will find helpful learning guides and fishing tips tailored to each of Minnesota’s six trout fishing regions. Anglers can also access StreamFinder, which provides anglers with a description, species list, regulations and access information for trout streams throughout Minnesota, and is modeled after the DNR’s popular LakeFinder tool.
Minnesota has roughly 3,800 miles of designated trout streams. Anglers 18-64 years old fishing on designated trout waters must have a trout stamp validation in addition to an angling license for possessing stream trout.
