Just a reminder...

Beginning with the May 10 fishing opener, the crappie limit will be reduced from 15 to 10, the sunfish limit will be reduced from 30 to 20 and the lake trout bag limit will be reduced from three to two.

The daily and possession limit for catfish will remain at five, but only one more than 24 inches and two flathead catfish will be allowed.

Special fishing regulations are being imposed on 66 lakes and one stream to try to improve northern fishing in the state.

The new regulations -- which are in addition to scores of other lakes, rivers and streams with experimental and special regulations -- underscore how important it is that Minnesota anglers pay attention to specific rules on the waters they fish.

Thanks for the reminder Spike. The pages in the rule book on specific lake criteria is unbelievable this year. One almost has to memorize this baby to be sure you're legal. Have a good opener. Bill
