listing of and Below is a listing of the inland lakes and streams that are managed for and salmon, along with their respective regulation Type. Please see pages 22-25 for detailed regulations for each Type. For inland lakes, the name will appear under the appropriate county and will be followed by a letter (A-F). The letter designates the Type of regulations that apply to that lake. There have been changes to the daily possession limit and possession season in Type F lakes (see p. 22). For streams, the name will be followed by a number (2-4 or the abbreviation GR which stands for Gear Restricted Streams) and any upstream/downstream boundaries that apply to that section of stream. Type 1 streams are not listed in the text. For a complete listing of all trout streams, refer to FO-210 (available online or at all DNR Fisheries Offices). An SC indicates a fishing closure for the area and time period mentioned. Maps can only be found online at www..gov/dnrfishing.
