Michigan Natural Resources Commission Reverses Course on UP 10-Fish Daily Limit on Brook Trout

“An experimental regulation that allowed for 33 streams in the Upper Peninsula to have a 10-fish daily possession limit for brook trout is no longer in effect. During its regular meeting today in Lansing, the Michigan Natural Resources Commission voted to return the five-fish daily limit to those streams, effectively immediately.”

Great news out of Michigan, the Natural Resources Commission has finally reversed course on its ill-advised 10-fish “experimental” daily limit on brook trout on 33 streams in the Upper Peninsula.

Having expired October 1, 2019, the commission voted to extend it even though Department of Natural Resources fisheries biologists had recommended against it.

This leaves Vermont and its highest-in-the-nation 12-fish limit on native brook trout in rivers and streams all by itself with its closest peer being a couple of states that still allow 8 brook trout to be harvested.
