    DNR List

    Might want to keep your eye on this. If one pops up close to home I might go and get some free meat.

    I think all of last winter there were 2 or 3. I have a feeling we are in the middle of a lake cleansing and there are going to be a lot of lakes added.

    Duck Lake in EP used to be full of bull heads. It might be an opportunity for cat guys.

    Tough to keep a bait tank running this winter. I am thinking bullhead fingers. Yum!

    Hmm, I kind of breezed through it and didn’t notice that, but normally, at least I thought, it was opened up to take as much of any species by almost any means.

    – You may take fish in any quantity for personal use from lakes opened to liberalized fishing.

    – You may take fish by spear, gillnet, or angling (check each lake at the access site, gillnets may not be allowed at all lakes).

    -You may not use seines, hoop nets, fyke nets, or explosives to take fish.

    – …take home all fish that are caught.

    Why are gillnets ok, but not seines, hoop nets or fyke nets (whatever those are).

    Do they continue to open them up after the close of the game fish season for pannies only? I noticed that on the lakes already listed liberalized fishing ended on the 23rd. Does anyone know? I’m not planning on participating either way but I am curious.


    Most of the time lakes are only open for a short time period,the thinking is that the fish are generally dead after that time or they have found a place with enough oxygen to make it until spring.
