No. Pike Restrictions Eased

Three area lakes are among 15 that will no longer have restriction on the taking of northern pike.  The special northern pike regulation will end Tuesday, Nov. 1.

This change is the result of a new state law that limits the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources to no more than 100 northern pike special or experimental regulation lakes and only allows for length-based rules.

Included among the 15 lakes are Louise in Cass County, ,Ogechie in Mille Lacs County  and Little Sauk in Todd County.

The lakes will revert to the standard statewide northern pike regulation – a three-fish limit with no more than one greater than 30 inches in possession.
