Statewide fishing regulations return to Green Lake in 2006
(2005-09-27)

Starting next spring, statewide fishing regulations will return to Green Lake in Kandiyohi County.

"Statewide regulations will be appropriate and adequate to protect fish populations of Green Lake," said Bruce Gilbertson, Department of Natural Resources (DNR) area fisheries supervisor at Spicer. "The change is consistent with the sentiment of most anglers who provided input on Green Lake."

Bass and northern pike regulations were modified in 1997 as part of a study that aimed to improve fishing quality for bass and northern pike. The study ends this year.

The DNR had an open comment period and held a public input meeting in Spicer last month to solicit input on the effectiveness of the special regulations and to determine whether anglers believed they should be continued, modified or eliminated. Most anglers wanted a return to statewide regulations.

The 2006 inland bass fishing season bass will open May 27. Anglers will be allowed to possess six largemouth or smallmouth bass combined. The statewide catch and release season, which begins Sept. 11, will continue to apply. Statewide rules will allow bass tournaments to be held again on Green Lake.
