DNR seeks public input on fisheries management plans for Minnesota lakes

This year, the Minnesota DNR fisheries offices are asking for public input on plans for 197 lakes in 52 counties by March 31, 2026.
Because staff want informed plans, the DNR suggests public observations and comments will be considered when developing each management plan, and input on habitat, target species, and social concerns is encouraged.
To offer input, contact the Glenwood fisheries office at 320-634-7323 or glenwood.fisheries@state.mn.us for lakes like Eagle, East Solomon, Henderson, Long, Point and Ringo by March 31, 2026.
Anglers and local groups stand to be affected because updated plans can influence fishing opportunities, fish habitat priorities and target-species management for lakes involving anglers, conservation organizations, lake associations and local units of government.
Submit comments by March 31, 2026, and the Minnesota DNR website provides a statewide list of lakes to guide input from organizations and their representatives.
