Aitkin, Minn. Aitkin County trout lakes remain closed to winter angling during 2005. A recent article in an outdoors publication indicated that Aitkin County trout lakes were open to angling this winter season, which is not the case.

A proposal to allow winter angling on Aitkin County trout lakes
is under consideration by the DNR, and if approved, will require
rule changes. If approved, regulation changes will be identified in
the Minnesota Fishing Regulations. Current regulations also are
posted at lake access points.
