Fish Species
See the TwinCities WaterRecreataionMap for metroinformation
The MN Department of Health gives advice for eating fish from over 300 locations. Meals of certain species from some waters should be limited because of possible contamination. In most cases anglers can safely eat any fish they choose to take home. However, the Health Department recommends that young children, pregnant women, women of childbearing age, and anglers who fish just one or two waters exclusively should space meals of fish over periods of time. The Mississippi, Minnesota, and St. Croix rivers are the primary resources of concern.
Reduce your Risk:• Keep smaller fish. Younger fish have had less time to accumulate contaminates.• Eat fish that have the least amount of contaminates, including perch, sunfish and crappies. Contaminates build up most in fatty fish such as carp, catfish, and lake trout. Predatory fish such as walleye and northern pike, that have reached larger sizes also are more likely to have increased contaminates.• Clean fish properly by removing as much fat as possible. This reduces exposure. For more information contact the MN Department of Health (651) 215-0700 or 1-800-657-3908. www.health.state.mn.us
Fish Consumption Advisory
Fishing Regulations and LicensingAll persons 16 years and older are required to have the appropriate license with them when fishing. Licenses are available through the DNR License Bureau, County Auditors, and many stores that sell fishing related goods. Trout fishing requires a trout stamp. Call the DNR License Bureau at (651) 296-2316.
Improved technology and increased fishing have caused the quality of fishing to decline in many waters. Practicing “Selective Harvest” offers anglers an opportunity to take some fish home while releasing others back into the water to improve fishing quality. Here are some tips to use for effective Selective Harvest fishing:
• Use barbless hooks.• Play the fish quickly and handle the fish carefully.• Never hold the fish by the eyes.• Use small pliers to remove hooks or cut the line if it is too deep.• Ease the fish back into the water, do not throw it back.
Selective Harvest Fishing

Minnesota Fishing Piers and Platforms The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) provides fishing piers and shorefishing areas throughout the state. These facilities are designed to meet the needs of people with disabilities. Parking is generally located within 300 feet of the fishing facility, and a hard surface path from the parking area is provided. These facilities are provided to improve fishing opportunities, especially to meet the needs of children, the elderly, and people with disabilities.
Be aware that there may be varying degrees of site conditions and accessibility at the facilities listed in this brochure.
