However he could NOT positively tell me. Yea that's right... not with a 100% certaincy. He said his interpretation was one under 16" and 1 over 21" but agreed that the term "May Be" was not clear. He said he would call me after he spoke to his supervisor.


I'm no idiot and I do my best to follow the laws, but anyone new to fishing or new to the area that isn't familiar with fishing acronym could easily be confused with vaguely written regs, especially when you compare the regs to other lake regs that are exact... Which the warden did agree with me.

If were to write it... No Small mouth shall be harvested between 16" and 21". A maximum of 2 Small Mouth can be harvested per day. Only one under 16" and or one over 21" is allow.

To me that is very clear and decisive.



LOL, catch fish have fun.



Congrats Andy on your PB SM!
