Always confirm regulations with the official state regulations before fishing — rules change, and waterbody-specific exceptions apply.
Waterbody-specific rules
- There is a continuous open season on all species except walleye. Walleye fishing season is open from the second Saturday in June through the first Sunday in March (June 13, 2026 through March 7, 2027). Walleye from 15” but less than 20” may be kept and only one fish may be over 24” until department notification that the annual quota has been reached, and thereafter only catchand-release fishing for walleye is allowed. Lead tackle less than 1” in diameter or 1 oz. in weight is prohibited.
