Comments sought on rule limiting special northern pike regulations
(Released March 26, 2012)

Comments on rules governing special regulations for northern pike and other fishing regulation matters will be accepted until Thursday, May 30, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has announced.
To comply with a legislative change in state law, emergency rules were enacted in November 2011 that reduced to 100 the number of lakes regulated for northern pike bag limits and catch-and-release. The current rule making process will make those emergency rules permanent.

Other changes are technical in nature to clarify and improve the consistency of regulations.

Comments should be directed to Linda Erickson-Eastwood by mail at 500 Lafayette Road, St. Paul, MN 55155-4020; email at linda.erickson-eastwood@state.mn.us, or telephone at 651-259-5200.

Complete details are available on the DNR website.
