(MNN)-A Minnesota lawmaker is proposing a change that could let anglers double their fishing lines. Republican State Representative Chris Swedzinski of Ghent wants to allow Minnesotans to fish with two lines per person for all species, rather than the current one‑line limit. Swedzinski says expanding licensing options would give anglers more opportunities for success on the water and help more people enjoy fishing. The proposal comes as the Department of Natural Resources considers reducing the daily and possession limit for walleye from six to four, beginning March 1. Swedzinski says he plans to introduce the bill when the legislature convenes on February 17.
