MN Moms Invited To Mother’s Day Weekend Fishing Challenge

MINNESOTA —The state's Department of Natural Resources is inviting all Minnesota moms to join the Mother's Day weekend fishing challenge from Saturday, May 13, through Sunday, May 14.

To participate, moms simply need to join the Minnesota moms fishing challenge Facebook group and submit one photo of each fish they catch.

Minnesota moms can fish over this and every other Mother's Day weekend without purchasing a fishing license.

Moms who submit a fish will be entered in a random drawing for various prizes provided by the Student Anglers Organization, including SCHEELS gift cards.

"I am excited to celebrate Mother’s Day weekend by fishing and join this fun fishing challenge," DNR Commissioner Sarah Strommen said in a news release.

"Fishing has always been one of the ways my son and I spend time together. I invite all Minnesota moms to get outdoors and spend some time with family and friends enjoying our state’s beautiful waters and making memories."

The weekend also happens to coincide with the fishing opener for walleye, northern pike, bass, and trout in lakes.
