Summary
The bill amends Minnesota law to ban the use of sonar devices and most artificial lights while targeting muskellunge or northern pike in waters where those fish naturally reproduce and are not mainly stocked. It also sets rules for when sonar equipment can be possessed without violating the ban. The measure aims to protect wild fish populations by limiting high‑tech fishing aids.
