Fishing Regulation Proposals 2021 Theme Based Approach Fishing Regulation Proposals 2021 Theme Based Approach 7/31/2020 Page 1 of 163 Theme Approach to Fishing Regulation Proposals • Goal: Improve the ability of the public and the Advisory Council to more efficiently understand the purpose and intent of a large volume of water-specific regulation proposals. 7/31/2020 Page 2 of 163 Outline of the Packet Theme Categories • Special Need (pages 4-13) • Lake Trout (Togue) Growth (pages 14-18) • Landlocked Salmon Growth (pages 19-20) • State Heritage Fish Waters (pages 21-24) • Angling Opportunity (pages 25-30) • New Special Regulation Listing (pages 31-32) • Simplify to General Law (pages 33-47) • Trout to Brook Trout (pages 48-92) • Errors, Conflicts, and Confusions (pages 93-163) 7/31/2020 Page 3 of 163 Special Need Management initiatives, typically in response to dramatic events, an emerging situation requiring adaptive rule changes, or more complex and comprehensive initiatives to increase consistency and simplification within or between watersheds. Examples include rule changes in response to a fish kill, a reclamation to restore a fishery, and protecting at-risk high-quality fisheries, etc. 7/31/2020 Page 4 of 163 2021 Rule Making Proposals REGION WATCODE ID WATER NAME TOWN(S) COUNTY OR COUNTIES PROPOSAL SOURCE A 3748_BLNK AUBURN LAKE Auburn Androscoggin MDIFW REGULATION THEME Special Need REGULATION CHANGE DESCRIPTION Remove temporary > 20 inch togue restriction and restore to previous regulation (S-26). PURPOSE The current regulation prohibiting harvest of togue greater than 20 inches was temporarily imposed after a togue fish kill caused by algal blooms and poor water quality in 2012. The intent of the current regulation was to retain larger individuals in the population that were applying biological control to the perch population. Indications are that a robust perch population, impacts smelt abundance, and therefore forage availability and health of salmonid species. The togue, landlocked salmon, and smelt have demonstrated signs of recovery. Consistent with the original intent, this proposal would reestablish the previous regulations now that water quality and the dynamic interactions between species have recovered.

  • Official List of Public Waters
    Official List of Public Waters New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services Water Division Dam Bureau 29 Hazen Drive PO Box 95 Concord, NH 03302-0095 (603) 271-3406 https://www.des.nh.gov NH Official List of Public Waters Revision Date October 9, 2020 Robert R. Scott, Commissioner Thomas E. O’Donovan, Division Director OFFICIAL LIST OF PUBLIC WATERS Published Pursuant to RSA 271:20 II (effective June 26, 1990) IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not use this list for determining water bodies that are subject to the Comprehensive Shoreland Protection Act (CSPA). The CSPA list is available on the NHDES website. Public waters in New Hampshire are prescribed by common law as great ponds (natural waterbodies of 10 acres or more in size), public rivers and streams, and tidal waters. These common law public waters are held by the State in trust for the people of New Hampshire. The State holds the land underlying great ponds and tidal waters (including tidal rivers) in trust for the people of New Hampshire. Generally, but with some exceptions, private property owners hold title to the land underlying freshwater rivers and streams, and the State has an easement over this land for public purposes. Several New Hampshire statutes further define public waters as including artificial impoundments 10 acres or more in size, solely for the purpose of applying specific statutes. Most artificial impoundments were created by the construction of a dam, but some were created by actions such as dredging or as a result of urbanization (usually due to the effect of road crossings obstructing flow and increased runoff from the surrounding area).

Providing public access to these bodies of water is extremely impor- tant to us because we want both residents and visitors alike to enjoy them to the fullest. The Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife works diligently to provide access to Maine’s waters, whether it’s a remote mountain pond, or Maine’s Casco Bay. How you conduct yourself on Maine’s waters will go a long way in de- termining whether new access points can be obtained since only a fraction of our waters have dedicated public access.

  • Partnership Opportunities for Lake-Friendly Living Service Providers NH LAKES Lakesmart Program
    Partnership Opportunities for Lake-Friendly Living Service Providers NH LAKES LakeSmart Program Only with YOUR help will New Hampshire’s lakes remain clean and healthy, now and in the future. The health of our lakes, and our enjoyment of these irreplaceable natural resources, is at risk. Polluted runoff water from the landscape is washing into our lakes, causing toxic algal blooms that make swimming in lakes unsafe. Failing septic systems and animal waste washed off the land are contributing bacteria to our lakes that can make people and pets who swim in the water sick. Toxic products used in the home, on lawns, and on roadways and driveways are also reaching our lakes, poisoning the water in some areas to the point where fish and other aquatic life cannot survive. NH LAKES has found that most property owners don’t know how their actions affect the health of lakes. We’ve also found that property owners want to do the right thing to help keep the lakes they enjoy clean and healthy and that they often need help of professional service providers like YOU! What is LakeSmart? The LakeSmart program is an education, evaluation, and recognition program that inspires property owners to live in a lake- friendly way, keeping our lakes clean and healthy. The program is free, voluntary, and non-regulatory. Through a confidential evaluation process, property owners receive tailored recommendations about how to implement lake-friendly living practices year-round in their home, on their property, and along and on the lake. Property owners have access to a directory of lake- friendly living service providers to help them adopt lake-friendly living practices.

  • Celebrate Clean Water
    Vol. 7, No. 2 Provided free of charge to our monitors and affiliates Fall 2002 Celebrate Clean Water On October 18, 2002, the nation will celebrate the 30th anniversary of the enactment of the Clean Water Act. To commemorate the anniversary, the day has been declared National Water Monitoring Day. In celebration, volunteers throughout the country will collect and submit water quality data to the National Water Monitoring Day database. This is a great opportu- nity to show the country what lake stewardship means to Mainers! We hope all our volunteer monitors (who haven’t migrated to warmer climates) will participate on October 18th. Since the weather doesn’t always coop- erate, all data collected between October 12th and October 27th will be submitted. If you would like to join in the celebration and monitor your lake or pond, contact us prior to October 18th to ensure that your site is regis- tered for the event. The deadline for submitting data is October 27th, so please relay your results to us before then.
