Maine NFC Launches New Live Fish as Bait Signs for State-Owned Lands
While habitat degradation, pollution, changing climate, stocking, and angler exploitation all pose a threat to our wild native fish, when you peel back the onion and look at the facts, it would be hard to argue that nonnative fish were not the biggest threat.
Working with Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands, Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, and Sportsman’s Alliance of Maine, NFC developed a pair of signs denoting the new prohibition on the use of live fish as bait in Maine’s critically important North Zone.
The first sign (left) was designed for kiosks, information boards, gate houses, etc. The second sign (right) was designed for shoreline posting. The signs will start going up early spring 2021 in Cold Stream Forest and the Wilson Hill public land. Per BPL standards, signs will be posted on painted wood boards.
