Anglers seeking big bass fishing or a great walleye lake can rely on Minnesota fishing resorts and fishing guides, who can introduce the plentiful fishing opportunities in the state, including fishing tournaments and the weekly harvest via Minnesota Fishing Reports available online and via e-mail.
Almost 12,000 lakes hold some of the finest game fish to ever wear scales, including large and smallmouth bass, trout, northern pike, muskies and the Minnesota state fish - the walleye. Lake Superior fishing adds the opportunity to catch additional species.
In the winter months, Minnesotans go ice fishing. From small shacks to impressive 'cabins' on the ice, MInnesotans can demonstrate how to enjoy angling in winter.

Fall can be a great time for fishing in Minnesota. Larger fishing boats and more sophisticated fishing techniques have lured more anglers out on lakes and rivers in the fall. Mild temperatures and a backdrop of fall color add to the appeal.
