Join the statewide challenge!
Let's get reel, moms! Join the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Student Angler Organization and Women Anglers of Minnesota for a free virtual fishing challenge just for Minnesota moms during Take a Mom Fishing Weekend from May 10-11.

How to participate
The challenge will take place in the Facebook group from midnight on Saturday, May 10, through 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, May 11. During that window, submit one photo of each fish you catch in the Facebook group. All species and sizes welcome. Snap a photo and let your fish go or keep it for dinner. Bag limits and regulations do apply.
Win prizes
All moms who post a picture of their fish in the group between May 10-11 will be entered to win prizes provided by the Student Angler Organization and their partners. A representative from Student Angler Organization will message winners on Facebook after the challenge concludes.
