The proposed rule amendment is to reduce conflict among recreational anglers and commercial haul seine operations. The amendment proposes to increase the area in which commercial fishers may use a haul seine by 5,100 acres, clarify current rule language, update the current rule language to utilize new technologies, and allow haul seiners to set their nets at midnight. The boundaries for commercial fishers will be set as Global Positioning System coordinates in the associated permit. The proposed amendment will reduce conflict among user groups, enhance law enforcement of the haul seine program and continue to provide effective protection of both commercial and sport fisheries and the lake ecosystem.
