A.The MNDNR is proposing a 1-over-25 inch regulation to preserve spawning-sized fish. Another proposal is to extend the lake trout season through the first weekend in October to afford additional angling opportunity. However, if model results indicate that mortality rates get too high, a bag limit reduction may possibly be considered. Also, regulations may vary among management zones to achieve objectives.
