Rationale:

The goal of the proposed changes is to:

  • Simplify regulations
  • Make small lake fisheries more inclusive and accessible for all anglers
  • Open new angling opportunity for rainbow trout

The current regulations are either:

  • Outdated
  • Not achieving desired management outcomes
  • Are unnecessarily restrictive
  • Not reflective of current lake conditions, access, and angler use
