DNR enacts new netting regulation changes to enhance fishing opportunities
The Department of Natural Resources today announced new fishing opportunities for dip-net anglers. The dip-net season has been modified and will now open statewide on March 20, as opposed to its previous date of April 1. Additionally, dip-net and hand-net seasons are no longer differentiated by peninsula and have been consolidated into a single season.
To increase netting opportunities, goldfish and gizzard shad have been added to the list of species allowed for harvest with dip and hand nets. The changes became effective on Feb. 7, 2013, when DNR Director Keith Creagh signed Fisheries Order FO-229 – Netting Regulations.
The MDNR is shutting down their licensing system for 3 days to do some computer updating so plan accordingly.
