Regulations Question?

[Big Fish Hunter247]

my parents have a cabin just north of St Croix Fall and they wanna go fishing this weekend but they dont wanna go for panfish what are the regs on that? The way I understand it in the book is you CAN fish for bass and northern but its all catch and release can anybody tell me if I am reading this right?

You can not purposely fish for a species not in season!

Big fish there are certain lakes that have special regs that allow fishing for walleyes, bass, northerns year around but in general its panfish only right now. Bass have a catch and release season that opens on May 7 and you can't keep any till June sometime I believe. DNR really frowns on people catching fish out of season. Not sure how they would prove you were trying to catch that fish in court. Hope this helps.
