Stream Trout Season Begins For Minnesota Anglers

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Saturday marks the first day anglers can keep the trout they catch in Minnesota streams.

DNR biologists say two mild winters, along with the absence of spring flooding, have led to healthy populations of brown trout.

Crews have been out stocking yearling rainbow trout to provide a greater variety of angling opportunities.

The DNR says people bought a record 106,000 trout licenses last year.

Keep in mind that lake trout are still off limits until May 14.
