2010 Fishing Regulations

[Long Point Slammer]

Heard rumor that we were gonna have to release all walleyes under 16" on Ocean Lake, but I don't see any change in the new regs.  I was starting to wonder.  I love eatin those little eyes, besides the fishery seems to be doing ok anyway.  Looks like they added a few lakes under special ice fishing. Deaver and Harrington??  Other than that, I don't see many changes!!! LPS

I breifly read the regs for that area and did not see anything about walleye for ocean.  but I could have always missed it cause I just skimmed it.

I do know Glendo changed to 15" and smaller are releases back. 

[mulebarnmax]

I think that the reg states you must release any fish under 15". that makes one that is exactly 15" a keeper if you choose. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

[Long Point Slammer]

The quote is as follows,"All walleye less than 15 inches shall be released to the water immediately." (That's on Glendo)  What was it before, I don't fish there?

[jopes]

Glendo did not have a size requirement before the 2010 season.

Glendo did not have a size requirement before the 2010 season.

I ALSO HEARD THAT YOU CAN USE 6 POLES ON GRAY ROCKS AND GLENDO,TRUE OR FALSE.

special ice fishing provisions allow up to 6 lines, but you need to be within 300 yards and each one has to have your name must be attached to each.

***EDITED***

I should say that this is only on special waters listed under this provision in the regulation handbook.

I am really surprized at how no one/most don't really reads the regulations, OR they just can't read.   Knowing a ticket can be involved, and potentially one's fishing privilages, I for one read the regs and comprehend them.

Good luck on the ice with the warden!

I agree, I read the regulations for what ever water I am fishing on.  Since moving around the country a good number of times it really makes it more clear as how different states manage the fish and game.

Alot of people think ignorance is an excuse. Anymore each body of water be it a stream or lake has a different set of rules that apply. I not only read the regs I have one in the truck, the boat, and the ice house mostly cause I  cant remember the limits and lengths for all the waters I fish.

Yes I agree I thought I had read and understood most of the hunting regs myself and I got a lesson from 13 year old this year of a few things (ever so minor) I was doing wrong? After that I went back through the fishing and hunting regs! If I would have been caught I would have been  the blues....

[LT]

Ya, fer instance I was over at Basecamp in Boulder and a buddy asked me if I had plans for the next day and I said I was going deer hunting, he said, better check the regs, it ends today. They shortenede the season...Yow! I'd sure killed a mulie that next am, cause I knew where they were! Sheesh, oh yeah, I can see that headlione, retired Police LT in jail etc.

I seem to have a  question on the regs, page 25, #10 Flaming Gorge....I see the part that says Flaming Gorge, then I scroll down and see the word "salmon" and then on to the lake trout paragraph.  Is there something missing, like how many rainbows, or  something else missing?
Also, is the special ice fishing regs somewhere else or is it missing?  
Please PM me with some help.
