DNR seeks input on Minnesota lakes
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources seeks input on goals and target fish species for 197 lakes to ensure healthy ecosystems and address angler preferences.
- The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is updating fisheries management plans for nearly 200 lakes in 52 counties, with Ryan Maki calling public input extremely valuable during this routine process.

- Area fisheries managers may request additional public feedback later in the year before completing updates, as the DNR says planning becomes easier with consensus on preferences for a waterbody.
- Commenters are asked whether they value social concerns and a fishery's popularity, and management choices about fish density and size to set lake-specific goals.
