It's time to take a kid fishing
Forget about the yard for a day, postpone your project, take a day off work.
Put off, skip, and reschedule everything else so you can take a kid fishing.
Saturday, June 6 and Sunday, June 7, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is again hosting Take A Kid Fishing Weekend in Minnesota.
Adults who take a kid under 16 years of age fishing on June 6 or 7 do not need a fishing license those days.
It's all part of a big effort to get kids and adults involved in the outdoors and fishing.
Grab your poles, dig a pail of worms, and head to the river, the shoreline of a lake, get in a boat, or walk out on a DNR fishing pier.
It's simple, it's easy, and it's fun. You'll have a blast and so will the kid.
In next week's column look for tips on fishing from shore and a list of some of the best and most accessible shore fishing locations in our area.
