possession limits
« on: Jan 09, 2013, 01:47 PM »
A while ago I was reading fishing regs for ND and I was pretty sure they said you could take home a legal limit of say walleyes every time you went fishing .There was no possession limits at all. In Manitoba we are allowed a days legal limit period,whether at home, in transit or wherever.In other words if I have a limit at home I cannot catch and keep anymore til the limit at  home is gone.Can any1 please confirm the ND regs on this please ?  thx in advance

ND's possession law is the same as Manitoba.

Possession limit is 10.

Whether or not you decide to break the law to stock your freezer is your call. Makes you no different than any other poacher out there.

Post the rules and not just the numbers...

From page 8 of the ND 2012-2014 Fishing Regulations

5. GENERAL DEFINITIONS AND REGULATIONS

Daily limit is a limit of fish harvested from midnight to
midnight.

No person may possess more than North Dakota’s
daily limit of fish while on the water or on the ice or
actively engaged in any manner of fishing.

Possession limit is the maximum number of each
legally taken fish species that a person may have in
his/her actual possession during any phase of any single
fishing trip of more than one day.

Storage limit at one’s personal permanent residence
is unlimited; however, at no time may a person transport
more than a possession limit.


Fish may be given (gifted) to another person but the
fish must be counted in the donor’s daily limit.

Gifted fish including packages of fish must be accompanied
with the following information from the individual
gifting the fish: name, fishing license number, phone
number, date, and number and species of fish gifted.

The packaging of fish away from one’s permanent
residence must be done so that the number of fish in
each package is easily determined.

Any person who possesses any game fish species
must not waste, destroy or abandon the edible flesh
(fillets).

Commercial processors, common carriers and commercial storage areas may possess any person’s legally
taken possession limit of fish. Each package must be
labeled with the owner’s name and address.

It is right there in the rules...

Thx Jay   that is exactly what I thought....no limits on storage at home....I guess the possession limit is if you go on a 2 day trip..Used to be like that here also...   double possession limit..Im sure lots of people keep a few extras in their freezers as they would be the only ones to know whats frozen in there..Pretty difficult regulation to enforce i would think..You fellows are lucky to have such liberal limits in ND..A good thing if say one only fishes in the summer or winter .Of course Im sure most people dont overload their freezers there and the same in Manitoba .Thx for the replies and I hope some of you fellows are lucky enough to get up here ice fishing on Lake Winnipeg this winter.Travel is easy and there are plenty of greenback walleyes to go around  lol
