It is the most pleasant aspect of fishing in Minnesota that you are not required to have a fishing license in most state parks, and that many state parks give complimentary fishing equipment.

Consider yourself prepared to have a good time, and don't forget to carry a camera to document your exploits. Keep in mind that catching a small fish is still considered fishing; try your luck with bluegill, perch, or bullhead. If you want to maximize your chances of capturing a fish, use live bait.

Sunscreen, bug repellant, and a first aid kit are all vital to have on hand at all times. Don't forget to include some snacks and beverages as well.
