The Minnesota Chapter of the American Fisheries Society is one of 54 chapters in North America, and one of the larger chapters with over 200 members. The chapter was formed in 1967 to provide a forum for fisheries workers in Minnesota to communicate professionally and socially, to advance scientific management of the state's aquatic resources, and to support the goals of AFS at a local level.

Members include biologists with the state Department of Natural Resources, federal fisheries specialists, university faculty and students, biologists working for tribal agencies and power companies, and interested persons from independent organizations.

Lured by over 13,000 natural lakes, 63,000 miles of streams, and Lake Superior, 44 percent of adult Minnesota's residents fish, a percentage exceeded only by Alaska. Fishery researchers and managers are challenged to keep fish populations healthy for the benefit of present and future anglers, as well as the non-fishing public that values a healthy aquatic ecosystems as an essential aspect of a wholesome life.

The Minnesota Chapter hosts an annual meeting that includes technical sessions on numerous topics, social functions, an awards banquet, an executive committee meeting, and a business meeting. The chapter also conducts three other executive committee meetings and publishes a quarterly newsletter. Thirteen chapter committees help accomplish the diverse goals and activities of the group.
