Public Invited to Comment on Proposed Trout Fishing Regulations

Proposed fishing regulation changes on certain trout streams in southeastern Minnesota will be the subject of discussion at a series of seven public open houses to be held by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) beginning this summer.

Jason Moeckel, DNR Southern Region Assistant Fisheries Manager at Rochester, said the meetings are intended to give the public an opportunity to learn more about trout management in southeastern Minnesota and "to give us feedback on the proposals as we move forward in our efforts to improve trout fishing opportunities."

DNR staff will be available at the meetings to answer questions and collect comments. Comment forms will also be available so that "we can get a better idea of how the proposed changes might affect individual anglers as well as trout anglers collectively."

All open houses will run from 3 - 8 p.m. The public is invited to attend at any time during those hours. Meeting locations and dates are:

Aug. 11 - Frontenac Sportsman's Club Community Center, 30301 Territorial Rd. Frontenac. Aug. 12 - American Legion Club, 215 3rd St. SW, Plainview. Aug. 18 - Heintz Center (Rochester Community Technical College), Rm. MH 223, Rochester. Aug. 19 - Lake Park Lodge, Winona. Aug. 25 - Eagle Bluff Environmental Learning Center, 1991 Brightsdale Rd., Rt. 2, Lanesboro. Aug. 26 - Four Seasons Community Center, 900 N. Kingston St., Caledonia. Sept. 2 - Wood Lake Nature Center, 6710 Lake Shore Dr., Richfield.

Those unable to attend one of the open houses are encouraged to provide written comments by sending them to Moeckel at DNR Fisheries, 2300 Silver Creek Rd., NE., Rochester, Mn. 55906.

"The more feedback we receive, the better we'll be able to create regulations that provide the opportunities the majority of trout anglers are looking for," Moeckel stated. "We're anxious to hear what anglers have to say about the proposed changes." -30-

From what I've heard, the first meeting went very well. It's not in the old town hall format where people take turns voicing their opinions in front of everyone. It's all one-on-one with DNR officials, comment forms are available, and there's a lot of good informational hand-outs. The next meeting is tonight...

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
