MADISON, WI (KDAL) – The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) will hold a virtual public hearing on a Lake Superior rule that will update lake trout and cisco quotas, as well as update the recreational lake trout harvest trigger on Lake Superior.
The DNR invites the public to join the virtual hearing at 6:30 p.m. on Monday via Zoom or by calling 1-312-626-6799 and using meeting ID 838 5662 1970.
Those who wish to provide testimony at the meeting are strongly encouraged to pre-register by filling in the hearing appearance form and sending it to Meredith.Penthorn@wisconsin.gov.
The updated quotas will impact how many lake trout and cisco commercial fishers may harvest and may also impact the lake trout recreational fishing season’s length if the new lake trout harvest trigger is reached early.
These updates are necessary to ensure a sustainable Lake Superior fishery.
