You will need a shelter license and a resindent/ or non resident license.
Good luck and do it safe

Shelter lic. for resident is 12.00 and you will also need a fish lic. I assume you are coming from out of state. Check the site
www.dnr.state.mn.us

That is very little $$$ considering what it would cost you to go hunting in S.D and N.D

No whinning because the cost to go to ND and SD is a sore subject to many MNoutdoors people.

Good luck and enjoy.

No shelter license required in ND (and other states).

Wish it was that way here. Especially for portables. That, I cannot understand. If it's staying overnight and unoccupied then yes it should have a license, but otherwise no. It keeps coming up in the legislature but never seems to go very far.

I agree. I don't mind putting a license on my fish house, but one for the portable is a bit extreme. I'm still sore over the $100 South Dakota hunting license I had to buy, and at that price it's only good for two five day blocks.

i wasnt trying to come off as complaining about the price, i just dont have any money right now thats all... guess i shouldnt have spent 400 on the a new xltwin, 100 on a digital camera, and 215 on a trip to florida all right before xmas thats all ill live and its a small price to pay for a little bit of fun over break

I didn't take your concerns as whining.

Money matters. And when you want to come to Minnesota from out of state and fish for a couple days and it costs that much, it's a problem.

I've lived in North Dakota and Wisconsin for many years while our family maintained a cabin north of Bemidji, so I've been buying out-of-state family licenses and fish shelter licenses and what have you for a long time. On the one hand, it's cheap as entertainment goes, and on the other it's been a pain in the, well, you know.

So I understand what you mean. Come and fish and have a blast.

holy dump its gonna cost me 45 bucks to keep busy when i go visit her. 25 for a 7day lisence and 20 for a shelter lisense oh well, 3 days of fishing should be worth it

I'm pretty sure MN lets out-of-state students buy resident licenses, I know they did a few years ago. I think it's a great thing for MN to do this. I had a WI friend in college and all he did was go down to the local Fleet Farm and buy a license w/ his Student I.D. card. But now that they swipe your driver's license, I don't know if this is what they still do.

Yes as long as you are a college student going to school in MN you can get a resident license even if you are from out of state. All you need is your student ID. ND never did that the whole time I went to school non resident license the whole time for me now I am done with school they are doing it too. I live in ND now so I give my dad money to buy my shelter tag for me and then I put his drivers license number on my or wait his house and I am legal. I bought the Lifetime License before I moved so no my cost for license in MN anymore.

Yes- I do agree! Come and fish MN because you'll have a great experience.
The cost is something to consider and is a pain in the butt.
But each state has it's little quirks. If you can get over that...you'll have a great time regardless.

Enjoy and tight lines!

Have your Girlfreind buy the shelter licenses… (It is hers RIGHT)

The out of state fishing licenses is not possible to get around.

WI lets college students buy Resident licenses. Does MN? I couldn't find anything in the DNR HSOforum.
