Restrictions May Be Taken Off Fishing
Iowa conservation officials move toward removing catch possession and size limits on fishing in major lakes. The conservation commission may modify or suspend limits, with recent actions opening the crappie season early and removing bullhead limits in Lost Island lake. Bruce Stiles notes many size limits should be removed to avoid overconcentration on few sizes, while local restrictions may remain in small waters.
