ME NFC Responds to DIFW Regarding Proposed Northern Zone Rule Changes

“NFC supports the proposal with the caveat that while it is a major step in the right direction, it falls short of what is needed to protect our wild native brook trout and charr in perpetuity.”

“But it is a major step in the right direction, and while what it doesn’t do is important to note, what it does do is more important – it prevents us from backsliding.”

“While far better than what we have today, the proposal will primarily prevent anglers from doing in the future what they are already not doing today, figuratively not literally.”
