The Sleepy Eye Police Department would again like to remind parents of the rules and conversations that should happen for all juveniles that ride electric foot scooters.

The bass fishing catch-and-keep season (mndnr.gov/regulations/fishing) opens Saturday, May 25. Spring is a great time to cast a line for these fun-to-catch fish. Largemouth and smallmouth bass can be easier to catch in spring and early summer when they spend more time in shallow water.

Learn more about how to fish for bass and other species at the Minnesota Department of Natural Resource’s learn to fish webpage (mndnr.gov/gofishing/how-catch-fish.html).
