SPEARGUNS

[freedivernd]

Here's an excerpt from Minn. DNR:
• Licensed anglers and children under 16 may take rough fish by
spearing, harpooning, archery, and hand-held dip nets in all inland
waters, except where taking fish is prohibited. All rough fish, except
cisco (tullibee), may be bought and sold. Note: whitefish are not
considered a rough fish.
• Rough fish may not be taken by spear, harpoon, archery, or dip net in
designated trout lakes or streams.
• Harpoons (spears) must have a tethered line not more than 20 feet long.
• It is unlawful to possess at or near waters a spear, net, or any device other than angling line that can take fish from February 16 through April 30, 2004. The exception is landing nets used for angling.
• Speared or dead rough fish may not be returned to the water or left on the ice or banks of any lake or stream.
