Targeting out of season species


Vitreus

Recommended Posts

Myself, if I have my limit, I will go fish for something else. If the fish are really biting, I will be a pure catch and release angler. I have learned to be more than a one trick pony and can catch most of what swims in the lake. After my week at the lake, I will get in my vehicle and drive 300 miles home.

As mentioned, this topic comes up almost every year. A few years back I copied one of the posts regarding fishing for walleyes with your limit, and I have it saved on my computer for future reference. The post is below-

Hello,

Yes, you can continue to fish for walleye. You can not cull once you

have a possession in your live well. Not that it matters right now. But

the season does need to be open on the type of fish you’re targeting. I've

added that because we do get questions on whether you can fish and catch

and release a species that is closed or the season has ended.

Good luck.

Jim

Amaturefishing - that was us who said that to the CO. There was no deceiving going on there, he knew what we were doing and just smiled and went on his way. Apparently we weren't doing anything illegal anyways.

Anyways everyone have a great Memorial Weekend, be safe.

By the interpretation explained in a few posts here wouldnt that be considered "wanton waste"? crazy

Ha, good one. laugh

A meat hunter might argue that it was a wanton waste of gas or time with no results to show for it.
