The future rules would maintain recreational lake trout harvest regulations in Lake Michigan, including a continuous open season and daily bag limit of 5 lake trout, which expired in January but have not resulted in detrimental impacts to lake trout. These regulations provide additional fishing opportunities for anglers without compromising the Lake Michigan lake trout recovery effort.

Pre-registration is strongly encouraged if you plan to provide spoken comments during the hearing.
