Location: north central wisconsin | I've mentioned that a similar question be asked a number of years ago, and am delighted to see it in this years' hearings, which could ultimately lead to allowing our trained/paid managers to manage.
QUESTION 57. Streamlining local fish rule changes (040113)
Currently the process to get a local bag limit or size limit change on a particular lake takes at least four years. More often than not, the local proposed rule change for a particular lake has been introduced to the local fish biologist by a group of concerned anglers, Conservation Congress member(s), and conservation club or lake association and is reviewed by the biologist for its need and effectiveness. The citizens group and the biologist meet again and a final proposed rule is formulated and presented as a citizen resolution at the spring hearing in the county where the particular body of water is located. The resolution then enters the process and maybe three years later the rule is implemented. Fish population dynamics change so rapidly on some waters that the rule proposed four years ago is no longer the proper rule for the lake.
57. Do you favor the creation of a process whereby the local fisheries biologist working with local citizens, conservation clubs, lake associations and the Conservation Congress can streamline local fish rule changes?
57. YES____

| No. It sounds like a good idea if common sense were always used. And we know what kind of common sense is used when politics is involved. |

Location: Minnesota: where it's tough to be a sportsfan! | A "rule by committee" can work but the public has to be involved either by membership or election to a conservation board. Use of Special Regulations can be a great time saver allowing change to be imposed as required. MO. has a fairly good example of this. |
