The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is currently exploring potential changes to the Minnesota bass fishing season. DNR Northwest Fisheries Supervisor Nathan Olson says the DNR is considering a year round catch and release bass season. 

Olson says the hope is that these changes would be implemented by the start of the new fishing season in March.
