[QUOTE="KDM, post: 276814, member: 314"] Just read this from the minot paper concerning proposed changes to the fishing regs........ Power told the gathering about new rules for cleaning and transporting fish. The proposed new regulation, said Power, was that “any two pieces of fish would be counted as one fish.” The reason for that, he said, was that game wardens were encountering some instances of confusion when checking fishermen with cleaned fish, especially when the fish was cut into several pieces. An example, said Power, is “Two walleye cheeks is one fish and a northern pike backstrap is one fish.” Walleye are a fish easily cleaned with one fillet from each side, which would equal one fish. However, if an angler removes the meat from the cheeks, considered by many to be a delicacy, one fish would then be counted as two against the daily limit. A common method for cleaning northern pike is to remove the backstrap, take fillets from both sides, sometimes the fillets from inside the y-bones as well, and boneless pieces from each side of the tail section. That cleaning method results in seven pieces of fish which, under the proposed cleaning and transport rule, would count as four fish against a five fish limit. “You’ll need to finish fish off at home,” said Power. I'm just not ready to respond to this yet........I'm still trying to make sure I read this right........Enjoy! [/QUOTE]
