Bullheads as Bait Law Change - A Short Update

The DNR continues to work on getting a rule change that will allow us to use longer bullheads as bait. They are "hoping" to have something by "next year".

If you would like to get on the DNR's "Request to Adopt" notice you should contact them and have your name and address added to their mailing list. A Request to Adopt Notice is a letter that goes out by the DNR indicating that they are proposing to adopt certain rules - in this case the bullhead change. You then can comment on the rule or request a hearing.

I made my request through

[email protected].

Thanks for your support.

Sparcebag, did you try sending it again? I'd really appreciate it if you'd give it another try. Us catmen are a small group and the DNR needs to know that there are more than just a couple of us who are watching this deal closely. Anbody who's intersted in seeing this law changed PLEASE send them an email to get on the request to adopt notice!!!

Riverrat56, thanks for your willingness to send an email to the dnr. Something like the following would work I would think:

Dear Linda:

I would like to have my name added to the DNR's Request to Adopt Notice for the proposed bullhead rule change. I am an avid catfisherman who is very interested in having the length of the bullheads I use for flathead bait increased.

Sincerely,

Jon Doe

dtro, I don't think people have been getting a response back.
