Can I fish in North Oaks?

No. Fishing is not permitted by residents or guests of residents of the City of North Oaks as per Minnesota Natural Resources Department Statute 6262.0500, "WATERS CLOSED TO TAKING FISH. Our City's waters are permanently closed to taking of all fish at all times." Those caught fishing will be ticketed and are subject to paying a fine.

The DNR will periodically take fish from Pleasant Lake for testing purposes or for display in Minnesota State Fair tanks.

Good news: There are 10,000 other lakes in Minnesota where you can fish!  Check out nearby lakes such as Turtle Lake, Snail Lake, or Snail Lake Regional Park.
