August 30, 2011 at 5:19 pm #991901Don’t you mean if you are a WI resident with a WI license you can. As a MN resident with a MN and WI license I can only use 2 rods.

I think even a MN resident with ONLY a WI license can fish with only 2 rods as well.

You know darn well you can. Don’t let those so-called fishing buddies you know tell you different. But as posters have noted, you have to be WI resident or resident of a state other than MN fishing with a WI non-resident license.
MN residents cannot buy WI non-res license to use three rods.
Clear as mud, stop over for a beer and we’ll go over it!!

August 30, 2011 at 10:48 pm #991961Straight from the MN DNR and WI DNR regulations book…
From the 2011 WI Regulations Book page 60:
Quote:
Wisconsin residents need a Wisconsin fishing license and Minnesota residents need a Minnesota license to fish in these boundary waters. Residents of other states need a nonresident license from Wisconsin or Minnesota. Regulations on these waters may differ between states. You must obey the regulations of the state in which you are fishing.
From the MN 2011 Regulations Book page 48:
Quote:
Other Borders: Minnesota has a reciprocal agreement with each of its bordering states: Wisconsin, Iowa, South Dakota, and North Dakota. Residents of Minnesota or a bordering state may fish throughout the waters bordering the two states only if they possess a valid resident license from their resident state. Nonresident anglers who have a nonresident license from either Minnesota or the bordering state may also fish throughout the border waters between the two states. Anglers may launch and fish from either shore and may transport their catch by the most direct route to the state in which they are licensed. This includes children who are not required to have a license. Lake Superior is not covered under this agreement and is not considered a border water. (See pages
21-24 for Lake Superior regulations.)When Minnesota’s fishing regulations differ from a bordering state’s regulations, Minnesota residents and persons fishing under a Minnesota nonresident license must comply with the Minnesota regulations and may only exercise the other state’s more liberal fishing privileges in the waters of the bordering state. Please check other state regulation booklets and the Experimental and Special Regulations section of this booklet (pages 25-47) for different regulations that might apply.
Conclusion: WI laws on the WI side of the river, MN laws on the MN side of the river.
You may fish the entire river with EITHER resident license and follow the laws of the state you are fishing in.
Now how ’bout that beer? Matter of fact this might take a few…
