Episode 544 – Capitol wrap-up, new boating permits required, Lake Detective, BWCA temporary reprieve

Managing Editor Rob Drieslein and Staff Writer Natalie Ryder begin the program with her recapping the special session and how issues like the shotgun zone and continuous bass season wrapped up. Then Captain Adam Block from DNR Enforcement explains how the new boating operator’s permit will unfold for Minnesotans beginning July 1. Lake Detective Steve McComas jumps in to share insight into what’s happening on state lakes this spring/early summer. As usual, Tim Lesmeister and Drieslein wrap up the show with multiple topics including U.S. Senate language affecting the Boundary Waters watershed, state elk tags, and the questionable idea of stocking sturgeon in Lake Minnetonka.
