The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is inviting public comments and suggestions for recreational and commercial fishing regulations currently under consideration for change.
Public comments will be considered for inclusion in a package of rules that will be drafted after the July 18 deadline. The final rules package will be made available for public review and comment through the State Register.
"This marks the start of the process we use to clarify and change specific portions of our fishing regulations," said Linda Erickson-Eastwood, DNR fisheries program manager. "We will take into account any suggestion the public may have on rules that are open for consideration."
A complete listing of the proposed changes under consideration can be found in the March 14 edition of the State Register www.comm.media.state.mn.us.
Among the changes to be considered are:
- add and clarify conditions for fishing contest operations and permits, including off-site weigh-ins, disposal of fish, and live release tournaments
- open Taylor and Townline (Loon) lakes in Aitkin County and Blue Lake in Hubbard County to winter trout fishing...
Comments may be submitted through July 18 in writing to:
by sending an e-mail from the DNR's online regulation page
at info@dnr.state.mn.us
or
by calling (651) 296-3325 or toll free 1-888-MINNDNR (646-6367)
The BP askes that you take a 2nd and email the DNR to open those lakes up. The two in Aitkin are close enough for me to fish.
Also tack a note on about how this MN fishing regulation needs to be re-written so it can be enforced in an objective fashion
"You may not intentionally fish for any species
during it's closed season."
In addition, ask that Largemouth Bass be openned to catch and release fishing during it's closed season.
