Conservation Department Raises Black Bass Bag Limit to Six
The Ohio Conservation and Natural Resources Commission increases the daily bag limit for black bass and trout from five to six while reducing yellow pike perch to six. The commission keeps minimum bass length at 10 inches and leaves open and closed season dates unchanged from last year. It restricts trot lines to one line with 30 hooks, no lines in state lakes, and requires landowner permission. Other measures include removing the five inch limit on bluegills, cutting crane limits to 20, and setting yellow pike perch length at 13 inches.
