Night fishing: No general night-fishing closure in Minnesota. Some designated trout lakes and streams close overnight or have a shortened season, and a few border waters have their own hours — check the current MN DNR regulations for this water.
Boats: Most Minnesota fishing rivers are run by tiller boats, jon boats, canoes and kayaks; larger craft only on the lower Mississippi, Minnesota, St. Croix and Rainy.
Bank & bivvy camping: Bank access is at DNR water-access sites, state water-trail campsites, parks and WMAs; other banks are private riparian land.
Tackle: Statewide bag limits apply (walleye 6, though many marquee and border waters are 4 with a protected slot). Many individual lakes carry special or experimental regulations — check the MN DNR fishing regulations booklet for this water.
