DNR Proposal for Brook Trout

A new proposal could have a significant effect on a number of streams flowing into Keweenaw and Huron Bay. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is proposing a 10-year experimental regulation for brook trout. The effected streams include Pilgrim, Silver, Slate, Ravine, Little Huron and Big Huron. These streams have a 7 to 8 inch minimum size regulation with a five catch limit. Now the DNR want to have a 20 to 22 inch regulation with a one fish limit on the lower stretches of these streams. If adopted, the new regulations would go into effect in April of next year.
