Proposed Fishing Regulations in Aitkin County

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources will hold two public meetings seeking comment on a proposal to implement special fishing regulations in Aitkin County. The regulations would apply to Farm Island Lake, and the experimental fishing regulations would affect the Big Sandy Lake system.

The DNR proposes to implement the following regulations:
· Farm Island: 16- to 19-inch protected slot for walleyes (currently experimental).
· Big Sandy and connected waters: 14-inch to 18-inch harvest slot for walleyes and bag limit of five sunfish.

The meetings will take place Friday, Aug. 27, at the Hazelton Town Hall, on Highway 169, from 6 to 9 p.m.; and in St. Paul on Wednesday, Sept. 29, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., at the DNR Central Office.

For those unable to attend the public input meetings, written comments may be sent to Rick Bruesewitz, DNR Area Fisheries Office, 1200 Minnesota Ave. S, Aitkin, MN, 56431, or via e-mail to Rick.Bruesewitz@state.mn.us. Comments will be received until Oct. 10th.
