About 500,000 people are expected to fish on Saturday, May 11, Minnesota’s opening day of the walleye, northern pike, bass and trout-in-lakes season in 2024.
After a weird winter with above-average temperatures and little snowfall, spring has been equally strange, proceeding in fits and starts with an abundance of wind and persistent cool temps.

A total of 4,030 licenses are available in 15 quota areas where licenses are limited for the 2024 season, which opens Sunday, Sept. 1, and closes Sunday, Oct. 13.
Are you ready? Yes you are. If I can do it, so can you. If not, there’s a list of 80 license vendors – gf.nd.gov/licensing/retail-license-vendors – where you can purchase your license.
