AI Generated Summary
Senate Bill S.F. No. 1551 proposes changes to the fishing regulations in Minnesota. The bill would allow anglers who have a walleye stamp validation to use additional fishing lines beyond the standard allowance. Specifically, these validated anglers could use two lines in open water and four lines when ice fishing. Currently, general regulations permit one line in open water and two through the ice, with certain exceptions. This bill aims to amend these rules to provide more fishing opportunities for those who purchase a walleye stamp.
