Minnesota license reequirement

[Jimbw]

Does a 74 year old grandad with a 2 year old grandson need a license for small fish in Minnesota,with one baby pole or with one baby and one regular pole for the grandson? Thanks

I am assuming both are nonresidents. The answer is yes. Anyone under the age of 16 does not need a license if the parent or guardian has purchased a nonresident license. The person under 16 may then take their own limit as well. The person under 16 may also purchase a nonresident license if the parent or guardian will not be fishing, however I would be careful if I were the parent or guardian not having a license and assisting someone under the age of 16 in fishing. You also can't fish with two lines in Minnesota during the summer months.

as far as licenses for non residents you have the following options :

24 Hour for $8.50

72 Hour(3 days) for $24.00

7 day for $28.50

annual full year for $39.50

there is also a non resident family license which is good for parents and their kids under 16 (this does not work when it is Grandparent and grand child)
