Limit reduced for yellow perch on Minnesota’s Lake Mille Lacs starting March 11

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources announced on Monday that starting on March 11, the daily and possession limit for yellow perch on Lake Mille Lacs will be reduced from 20 to five. This regulation will be in place through Nov. 30.
