Minnesota’s walleye stamp
You can support walleye fishing by voluntarily purchasing the Minnesota walleye stamp. Buy your stamp wherever DNR licenses are sold, including online.
Proceeds from sales of the stamp, which is not required to fish for or keep walleye, are used to maintain and enhance Minnesota’s famed walleye fishing.
When you add the $5 walleye validation to your fishing license, those dollars flow into a dedicated account for walleye stocking activities. For $2 more, the DNR will mail you the actual walleye stamp as a collector’s item.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources stocks walleye in about 1,000 lakes that cover roughly 1 million acres. This effort costs more than $3 million per year. Your purchase of a walleye stamp supports the state’s rearing and transportation of fish and the purchase of fish from certified private providers.
Minnesota is blessed with about 2 million acres of walleye water, of which about one-half have strong self-sustaining walleye populations. Stocking improves fishing in walleye waters where natural reproduction occurs at only low or moderate levels.
