FISHING BASICS

When can I fish?

You can fish in spring, summer, fall and winter. You can fish any day of the year if the kind of fish you’re trying to catch can be legally caught on the day you’re fishing.

What can I catch?

You can catch some fish such as crappie, catfish, sunfish, perch and bullhead at any time. Fish such as walleye, northern pike and bass – commonly called gamefish – can only be

caught during certain times of the year. Those time periods can vary depending on where you are fishing. Contact the Minnesota DNR or visit www.dnr.state.mn.us to find specific regulations for a particular lake, river or stream.

Where can I fish?

You can fish on lakes, rivers and streams. To get to a fishing area, don’t cross private property without permission. Some areas may have fishing and access restrictions posted.

What if I catch fish?

Contact the Minnesota DNR or visit www.dnr. state.mn.us to find the number of fish you may catch each day in a particular lake, river or stream. No matter where you fish, the number of fish you catch each day are part of the total number of fish in your possession. Fish you have at home in a freezer or back at camp in a cooler are considered to be in your possession and count toward your limit.

for catching more fish 3 Tips

Are you hoping to reel in a big catch on your next fishing trip? If so, here are three things you can do to snag more fish.

1. Stay quiet

Even if the species you’re fishing isn’t easily spooked, keeping the noise level down can make a big difference. Sound carries better through water than air, and it’s best to remain quiet so you don’t scare the fish away.

2. Change tactics

If the fish aren’t biting, it may be time to get creative. You could try playing with the size of the lure or using a different lure technique. However, you may have to try your luck elsewhere. Many anglers won’t remain at a spot for more than 20 or 30 minutes unless they see some action.

3. Use a fish finder

Give yourself an edge by using a fish finder. This device allows you to locate fish with sonar technology. It’ll tell you when a fishing spot is

teeming with underwater wildlife and when it’s deserted. You can get a decent fish finder for under $100 or invest in a more sophisticated version with features such as GPS technology and smartphone connectivity.

If you don’t get the results you hoped for, don’t get discouraged. Even the most experienced anglers have days when they don’t catch a single fish.

plants for your

7 deer-resistant Midwest garden

Deer can easily ravage a garden by feasting on flowers, shrubs and vegetables. One trick to keep these creatures at bay is to fill your garden with deer-resistant plants. Here are a few species they tend to avoid.

1. Amsonia

Native to North America, these perennials are quite easy to grow. They produce clusters of star-shaped blue flowers in spring and bright, golden foliage in the fall.

2. Bugbane

Spikes of wispy white flowers bloom on this plant in late summer. While its toxicity keeps deer away, bugbane isn’t a good fit for yards with pets or young children.

3. Columbine

These elegant, bell-shaped flowers come in a variety of colors and are a favorite among hummingbirds. In the fall, the plant’s dark green foliage turns maroon.

4. Evening primrose

While deer and rabbits ignore them, these fragrant pink flowers attract a variety of pollinators. Consider growing this tough, sprawling plant as ground cover.

5. Globe thistle

This hardy plant is resistant to disease, drought and pests. Its blue and purple flowers are prickly, but they bloom for months and are ideal for dried bouquets.

6. Purple coneflower

Part of the daisy family, this plant’s rough foliage is unappealing to deer. Its flowers, however, are sure to draw bees and butterflies to your garden.

7. Russian sage

Dense clusters of lavender-purple flowers bloom from late spring until fall. This plant’s silvery foliage has a delightful fragrance that repels deer.

You can find these and other plants to adorn your yard at farmers markets, garden centers and nurseries in your area.
