AUGUSTA – The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife Advisory Council approved several new fishing regulation proposals during the December Advisory Council meeting. Several of these new regulations take effect for this ice fishing season.
To take advantage of some of these new fishing opportunities, view all the changes approved by the Advisory Council by visiting http://www.maine.gov/ifw/laws_rules/fishing/index.htm.
Changes to the online rule book will occur as soon as possible and all changes will be available in the next printed lawbook.

Does anyone see problems with the government constantly adding to and changing the laws? If so, what would they be?
You ain’t seen nothin’ yet!! At Fridays SAM Sportsman Congress, the Chairman of the Legislative Committee on Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, a Senator Dutremble (D) of Biddeford declared that he is neither a hunter or fisherman, and it sounded like he never was. We’re big time now, just like Washington, qualifications and experience don’t matter, only the party.
