Why MinnAqua?

Here in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, Minnesotans have a unique opportunity to get outdoors and enjoy aquatic habitats. There are over 5400 game fish lakes in Minnesota and 15,000 miles of fishable streams and rivers. Fishing is a life-long activity that connects participants with their local environment and encourages stewardship of natural resources.
