DNR To Consider Pike Changes in Hubbard Co. Lakes

A special regulation that requires anglers to release all northern pike less than 40 inches long in Fifth and Sixth Crow Wing lakes in Hubbard County will be the subject of a public meeting at 7 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 17. The meeting will be held at the Northwoods Bank Community Meeting Room, on 1200

The regulation, which has been in place since 2003, was intended to remain in effect at least through 2013, but will be reviewed at the meeting.

Minnesota Department of Natural Resources fisheries staff will provide information about the regulation, changes in fish populations since the regulation was implemented and solicit comments about whether to continue, modify or rescind the regulation.
