## Resource

Where does your Minnesota fishing license money actually go? How are fisheries, hatcheries, public accesses, and conservation work funded? And how does all of that connect to the proposed 4-fish walleye limit? In this episode, we sit down with Mark Holsten, former Minnesota legislator, former DNR commissioner, and current executive director of MN-Fish, for a deep dive into how natural resource funding and fisheries management really work in Minnesota.
