Special walleye regulations on northeast Otter Tail County's Big Pine and Little Pine lakes will be discussed from 7-9 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 5, at the Perham Community Center, 620 3rd Ave. in Perham, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) said.
Current regulations, which are scheduled to expire in March 2013, require that all walleye 18-to 26-inches be immediately released on both lakes. Public input will help DNR fisheries staff determine whether the existing special regulations should be continued, modified or dropped.
People unable to attend the public input meeting may submit written comments to the DNR Fergus Falls area fisheries office, 1509 1st Ave., Fergus Falls, MN 56537. Comments also will be taken via email at arlin.schalekamp@state.mn.us or phone at 218-739-7576.
Comments on Big Pine and Little Pine lakes also will be accepted during an open house from
8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 26, at the DNR Central Office, 500 Lafayette Road, in St. Paul.
All comments must be received by 4:30 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 8.
