Public asked to consider simplified inland trout regulations
MADISON
-- A color coded system that simplifies inland trout regulations will
be up for consideration by those attending the Wisconsin Department of
Natural Resources Spring Fish and Wildlife Public Hearing on April 13.
The proposed rules, which will be presented at hearings held in
conjunction with the Wisconsin Conservation Congress annual meetings,
increase fishing opportunities for anglers on Wisconsin's 13,000 miles
of trout streams. Scot Stewart, district fisheries supervisor for the
Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, said the proposal received a
positive reception at 10 public meetings held statewide last fall.
"Through careful management and angler support, trout populations have
improved statewide since the rules were last updated in 2003," Stewart
said. "During the 2014 public meetings, anglers expressed enthusiasm for
the new rules because they will continue to support healthy trout
populations while providing more quality fishing opportunities."
Since 2011, DNR has held 31 public meetings, conducted three surveys
including a survey of lapsed trout anglers and convened additional task
force meetings focused on trout. The resulting proposal would reduce the
number of special trout regulations from more than 40 to 12. The
proposal also would create more uniformity of regulations on trout
streams and within small geographic areas.

News #1 Young anglers can receive free instruction at 31st Annual Kids' Fishing Clinics
MILWAUKEE
- Kids 15 years and younger can mark the arrival of spring by attending
free fishing clinics on Saturday, April 11, at several lagoons and
ponds in Milwaukee, Racine, Washington and Waukesha counties. Clinics
will be held every hour beginning at 9 a.m. with the last clinic
starting at 2 p.m.
Members of local fishing clubs organize the clinics, and instruction
includes fishing techniques, equipment use, knot tying, safety rules and
fish identification. The clinics represent a cooperative effort by the
Wisconsin Council of Sport Fishing Organizations, Milwaukee, Racine,
Washington and
Waukesha County Parks System, Hunger Task Force Fish Hatchery and the Department of Natural Resources.
"Sport fishing groups are the heart and muscle of this program," stated
DNR Secretary Cathy Stepp. "They do an outstanding job of teaching kids
the basics of fishing and that fishing is fun. None of this works
without the dedication of the volunteers."
