Midwest Fishing Regulations
July 2nd, 2008
Fishing is open year-round on most waters. Proclamations (rules) are available at all Wildlife Resources offices and many local stores and visitor information outlets. Fishing is allowed from the shore only, not from any of the rental boats. Because it is a Fish Management Area, there are other restrictions as well, such as only one pole per person-even with a cane pole, and you must have a valid fresh water fishing license if you are older than 16 or under age 65. Fishing is regulated by each state government, so try looking on state Internet home pages or call 1- 800- ASK- FISH for fishing information available by phone. Most states have an aquatic resource education program that teaches fishing skills along with conservation education.
