Are there any areas along the Brule River that have special regulations or refuges?
The section between Hwy S and Hwy B is designated for fishing with ARTIFICIAL BAIT ONLY and has a special size and bag limit. There are also 3 areas north of Hwy. 2 with special regulations. The area known as “Box Car Hole” is closed to fishing from July 15th through, and including, October 31st. The area known as “Skid Mays” is closed from September 1st through, and including, May 31st. Also, the sea lamprey barrier refuge is never open to fishing and extends 500 feet both upstream and downstream of the barrier. All these areas are marked with signs and have dates on them.
