Fishing in the Neighborhood Program Logo.

The Fishing in the Neighborhood (FiN) Program provides great fishing opportunities for residents and visitors in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area. This urban fishing program has been working since 2001 to expand Twin Cities fishing opportunities.

FiN works with local partners to make safe, family settings situated in residential areas where you can enjoy a day in the park and good fishing. Along with these local partners, FiN stocks fish, installs fishing piers and platforms, restores shoreline habitat and sponsors aquatic education to create quality fishing opportunities.
