HF 624 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Anglers with a walleye stamp validation allowed to use additional lines.

This bill amends Minnesota's fishing regulations to allow anglers with a valid walleye stamp license to use two fishing lines in open water and four lines when fishing through the ice. It directly affects Minnesota anglers who purchase the walleye stamp, which is required for fishing for walleye in certain waters. The change modifies existing rules (Minnesota Statutes §97C.315) by expanding line limits specifically for these license holders, while other anglers remain restricted to one line in open water. The bill does not change general fishing rules for non-walleye stamp holders.
