Continuous open season for taking largemouth and smallmouth bass provided.

Minnesota's HF 2824 amends Minnesota Statutes section 97C.395 to establish a year-round (continuous) open season for taking largemouth and smallmouth bass. This change directly affects recreational anglers who fish for these species in Minnesota waters, removing seasonal restrictions that previously applied. The bill adds largemouth and smallmouth bass to the list of fish species already covered under the continuous season provision, which currently includes species like sunfish, crappie, and perch. The amendment modifies the existing statute without altering other seasonal rules for different fish.
