What to post in r/FishingMinnesota
What fits the room, and what gets removed.
Works well
- A photo of a fish you caught on a Minnesota lake with a short honest story about how it went.
- A question asking locals where to start on a specific Minnesota lake or what bait works this time of year.
- A post about gear you use, framed as your own experience and open to advice from people who fish these waters.
- A lighthearted story about the day going wrong, since the community description openly invites rants about misses.
- A report on conditions you found on the water, ice, weather, or bite, so others planning a trip get real value.
Avoid
- Posting anything unrelated to fishing in Minnesota, which is the one thing the moderator explicitly asked for.
- Dropping a bare link or promo with no story, question, or conversation attached.
- Writing like a brand account instead of an angler, since the room runs on personal stories and banter.
- Bragging without substance, because even the bragging here comes with real lake stories attached.
- Ignoring the friendly tone of the community and treating it as a free advertising channel.

What r/FishingMinnesota Is For
This is a community for people who enjoy fishing in Minnesota. The description says you can brag about your catches, rant about your misses, and compare how much beer you drank on the lake today. So the room is part fishing stories, part friendly complaining, part lake day banter. The people posting here are anglers who fish Minnesota waters, from lake regulars to folks just getting started. The moderator one-liner says there are no published rules and asks only that posts stay relevant to fishing in Minnesota and that you be a good community member. That gives you a clear picture of who belongs here and what they want to talk about.
What To Post
Post like a Minnesotan angler, not a marketer. Share a catch with a photo and the honest story behind it, including the ones that got away. Ask real questions about lakes, seasons, gear, or techniques and let the locals show what they know. If your product or service genuinely helps people fish in Minnesota, the safe path is to join conversations first, answer questions with real experience, and only mention what you make when it directly helps someone. A founder who shows up as a person who fishes will always do better here than one who shows up with a pitch.
What To Avoid
There are no published rules to quote, so the risk here is not a specific rule, it is being irrelevant or unwelcome. Do not post anything that has nothing to do with fishing in Minnesota. Do not drop links or promotions with no story or conversation around them, because a community with no written rules usually leans on moderators and members judging intent directly. Do not treat the friendly tone as an opening for spam. The moderator one-liner asks you to be a good community member, so act like one and you will be fine.
A note from Anthony
A fishing community with no published rules and a description that openly invites beer talk is about as friendly as Reddit gets, and that is exactly why lazy promotion would stand out so badly here. With no top posts observed yet, I would start by reading what people share before posting anything myself. The moderator one-liner is refreshingly simple, keep it about Minnesota fishing and be decent, and honestly that is the whole playbook.

Can I promote my product here?
The community has no published rules about promotion, so nothing in the rules bans it outright. The moderator one-liner only asks that posts stay relevant to fishing in Minnesota and that you be a good community member. That means any promotion should be clearly tied to fishing in Minnesota and should read as genuine participation, not an ad.
Are links allowed?
There is no published rule about links. Since the community relies on relevance and general good behavior rather than written link rules, a link should support a real fishing story or answer, never stand alone as the whole post.
Is AI generated content allowed?
The community published nothing about AI content. The practical bar is that posts should be relevant to Minnesota fishing and feel like honest contributions from a real person.
What happens if I break a rule?
There are no published rules to break, so removals would come from moderators enforcing the general expectation of relevance and good community behavior stated in their one-liner.
What should my first post be?
Something a Minnesota angler would genuinely post, like a catch with a story, a question about a lake or technique, or a report from a day on the water. The description makes clear that even a bad day on the lake is welcome material.
