Take A Kid Ice Fishing Weekend will be held Saturday, Jan. 15, through Monday, Jan. 17.

During the weekend, Minnesota residents can go ice fishing for free if they are fishing with a child 15 years old or younger. Minnesotans 15 years old or younger don’t need fishing licenses any time of the year, according to a release from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.

“Ice fishing is lots of fun for kids and adults alike. There’s nothing quite like making your way onto a frozen lake, drilling a hole through the ice and catching fish,” Benji Kohn, volunteer mentor program coordinator with the Minnesota DNR, said in a release. “If you’re interested in giving ice fishing a try, learning the basics is really doable. We have helpful information on our website to get you started.”
