Three-line fishing in Mississippi and St. Croix Rivers allowed.
HF 2661 amends Minnesota law to allow anglers to use up to three fishing lines in the Mississippi River and St. Croix River, increasing the current limit of two lines in those specific waterways. This change directly affects recreational fishers who regularly fish these rivers, providing a new option for their angling activities. The bill updates Minnesota Statutes section 97C.315 by adding a new provision (paragraph 4) explicitly permitting three lines in these two rivers. The amendment applies only to the Mississippi and St. Croix Rivers, leaving other river regulations unchanged.
