Game-changing idea
The DNR's proposal would eliminate the statewide northern bag limit of three fish, with one over 30 inches, and replace it with regulations that would differ depending on three new northern pike management zones: south, north-central and northeast.
Here are possible northern pike regulations for those zones:
North-central
Bag limit of 10 fish under 22 inches; two over 26 inches would be allowed as part of the 10-fish limit. Those 22 to 26 inches must be released.
Northeast
Two-fish bag limit, none over 30 inches allowed.
South
Two-fish bag limit, 24-inch minimum.
