Region: 3, Thompson

Management unit (MU): 3-29

Regulation type: Quota

Species: Rainbow trout

Closing date: January 17, 2025

Decision statement: Pending

Current regulation:

• Regional regulations
• Engine power restriction - 7.5 kW (10 hp)

Proposed regulation:

• No harvest of rainbow trout over 50 cm

Rationale:

Update regulations to maintain Red Lake as a Quality Fishery. Try to increase proportion of large-bodied Rainbow Trout available to anglers with none over 50 cm regulation. Brook Trout remain available through regional regulations.
