DNR announces 2005 whitefish-tullibee sport-netting dates and
regulations
(2005-09-27)
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has announced the
2005 dates for the start of the whitefish-tullibee sport-netting season.
As in past years, Schedule I lakes will be opened and closed on a 48-hour
notice posted at lake accesses and other public places. These lakes are
opened based on weather conditions that affect the vulnerability of game
fish to accidental harvest and presence of whitefish or tullibees in shallow
water.
Schedule II lakes will be opened and closed as follows: Schedule A lakes
will be open from Friday, Oct. 14, through Sunday, Dec. 4. Schedule B lakes
will be open from Friday, Nov. 4, through Sunday, Dec. 11. Schedule C lakes
will be open from Friday, Nov. 11, through Sunday Dec. 11.
Upper Red Lake, Beltrami County; Mille Lacs Lake, Aitkin, Crow Wing and
Mille Lacs counties; and O' Reilly Lake, Itasca County, will not be opened
to sport gill netting in 2005.
Individuals can obtain a copy of the 2005 whitefish-tullibee regulations by
calling the DNR Information Center at (651) 296 6157 in the Twin Cities
metro area or toll free 1-888-MINNDNR (646-6367) in greater Minnesota.
