Minnesota DNR announces open water fishing regulations for Upper Red Lake

State anglers fishing on Minnesota’s Upper Red Lake during the 2026 open-water season that starts Saturday, May 9, will have a five-walleye possession limit, with only one walleye longer than 17 inches allowed. This is the same regulation that was in place for the 2025 open-water season.
