New rules proposed by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) include the establishment of winter trout fishing opportunities in Aitkin and Hubbard counties, changes to commercial fishing operations and allowing night bow fishing on selected lakes.
Public comments on the proposals, published in the May 7 edition of the State Register, will be accepted through June 6. The proposed rules may be viewed on the DNR Web site at www.dnr.state.mn.us.
"These proposed changes are based on input from a broad range of stakeholders and a need to update some of our rules," said Linda Erickson-Eastwood, program manager, DNR Section of Fisheries Management.
Among changes under the proposed rules:
FISHING REGULATIONS
- winter trout fishing seasons would be established for lakes in Aitkin and Hubbard counties
- muskie fishing would be closed for the winter season starting Dec. 1
- opportunities for night bowfishing would be established
- existing fish spawning areas would be designated under rule for periodic closure by posting
- fish possession, shipping and transportation requirements, such as for transportation of sturgeon would be clarified or established
- the northern pike bag limit on Canada border lakes would be reduced to three with one fish more than 30 inches allowed in possession.
MINNOWS
- angling for minnows would be allowed in closed waters
- a special permit would be required to commercially harvest minnows in the Cedar River watershed (Dodge, Freeborn and Mower counties) to protect slender madtoms.
COMMERCIAL FISHING
- obsolete rules that allow the use of artificial lights to take turtles would be repealed to reflect changes in statute
- obsolete rules that allow the use of setlines on inland Mississippi River waters to reflect changes in statute
- add core lakes to commercial fishing area 12 in Otter Tail County
- repeal rules that create four commercial fishing areas in northwest Minnesota to better reflect harvest conditions.
Comments or questions on the proposed rules may be directed to Linda Erickson-Eastwood, Box 20, 500 Lafayette Road, St. Paul, MN 55155-4012; (651) 259-5100; e-mail .
Requests for a hearing with an administrative law judge must be submitted in writing and be received by mail by the June 6 deadline. If a hearing is required, it will be at 9 a.m. on June 20, at the DNR Office Building, 500 Lafayette Road, Conference Room Floor 6, St. Paul, with a simultaneous video conference connection to the Brainerd DNR Office Building, 1601 Minnesota Drive. |
