DNR Home

Please take this opportunity to let us know what you think of the Proposed Inland Fisheries Regulations and Discussion Item for 2006 for calendar year 2006. In addition to five Public Meetings to be held throughout the State of Maryland in April and May, interested persons no longer have to drive great distances to attend these meetings to personally comment on the proposed regulations.

In addition to the regulation proposals, Inland Fisheries is also considering restrictions on the use of live bait for the future and is including it as a discussion item for public comment. We would like to hear your views and opinions on the subject.
