The Minnesota DNR and the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe have set the open water bag limits for walleye on Lake Mille Lacs.

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and the Ojibwe Tribes are lowering the yellow perch daily and bag limit on Mille Lacs Lake.

Residents should not burn in those counties and permits will not be issued or activated.

There are several free programs coming up at various state parks, some of which do require you to register in advance.

New limits on several species of fish, as well as additional regulations, will be in effect on March 1.

The deadline is approaching to remove fish houses from lakes in the southern two-thirds of the state.

The honor was awarded at the DNR's annual award celebration. Four other officers also received special recognition.

It was a successful deer harvest last season, thanks in part to a record-warm winter in 2023-2024.
