Anglers Take Note of 2008-10 Fishing Regulations

North Dakota’s 2008-10 fishing proclamation has been set with regulations effective April 1, 2008 through March 31, 2010.

The 2008-10 North Dakota Fishing Guide will be available at license vendors by the end of the month.

Notable regulation and administrative rule changes include:

• Any container used to hold bait must be free of aquatic vegetation.

• Spottail shiners are no longer a legal live baitfish.

• Wanton waste is not allowed. No person shall possess any game fish species and then waste, destroy or abandon the edible flesh.

• Two weeks are added to the end of the darkhouse spearfishing season (will now continue through March 15).

• Opened 16 additional lakes to darkhouse spearfishing.

• Removed the maximum size (12 inches in diameter) of a hole used for ice fishing. However, a hole greater than 10 inches in diameter must be adequately marked and visible from a minimum of 150 feet.

• Removed the 14-inch minimum walleye restriction on Lake Elsie, Brewer Lake, Dead Colt Creek Dam, Sprague Lake and Lake Tewaukon. Also removed the 24-inch pike restriction on Sprague Lake and Lake Tewaukon.

• It is illegal to leave fish houses on state-owned or managed land after March 15.

• Regulations are in place to reduce the introduction or spread of aquatic nuisance into or within the state.
