THOUSANDS CONTRIBUTE TO FISH AND WILDLIFE RULES
Every few years, DNR officials review wildlife, hunting and fishing regulations. To kick off the process, the DNR solicits ideas and comments from citizens, state biologists and conservation officers. This year, thousands of Hoosiers have already contributed ideas and thoughts for managing wildlife resources. In early June, more than 580 Hoosiers attended one of the 19 DNR open house meetings to make comments and suggest future changes to wildlife-associated regulations. About 1,000 emails or letters have also been received. “With this input, we can develop a preliminary rule package that protects wildlife while addressing social concerns and allowing for better enforcement,” said Linnea Petercheff, operations staff specialist for the DNR Division of Fish and Wildlife. The three topics receiving the most comments were turkey hunting, deer hunting and muskellunge size limits. Many turkey hunters have suggested changing the wild turkey season dates, plus adding a fall turkey hunting season. Many deer hunters suggested increasing the bag limit for bucks. And a bunch of anglers would like the muskellunge size limit increased to more than 40 inches. DNR-proposed rule changes will be announced in October, and Hoosiers will again be asked their opinions. Fish and Wildlife managers will then review proposed rules based on the new public input. Public comments and information about the rule review process available online at: www.IN.gov/dnr/fishwild/about/rules.htm
TAILWATER TROUT FISHING AT MISSISSINEWA
Due to an unusually wet summer, anglers will have a unique opportunity to catch rainbow trout in the tailwaters of Mississinewa Reservoir this Labor Day weekend. DNR fisheries biologists will release 400 rainbow trout the morning of August 30. Trout are typically released at Salamonie Reservoir, but this year the rainbows will be released into the tailwaters of nearby Mississinewa Reservoir due to Salamonie’s high water levels. If heavy rains raise water levels at Mississinewa, the trout will be stocked into Brookville Reservoir.‑ Check on stocking plans by calling (765) 473-6528 or by visiting Mississinewa’s online fishing report at: www.fishing.IN.gov A fishing license and a trout stamp are required for anglers age 17 or older to fish for the rainbow trout. Indiana residents 65 or older are not required to purchase these licenses. The Mississinewa fishing site is located west of Wabash, Ind., south of highway 124 off of Miami County Road 675 East. Information on Indiana reservoirs is available at: www.in.gov/dnr/parklake/reservoirs/index.html
