Countdown to the Wisconsin CC Vote 3 days, reason #3

Through the VOTE on April 14 HDW-MOBILE will be doing a reason a day count down to vote to maintain quality trout fishing regulations on the Prairie at the Spring Wisconsin Conservation Congress hearings.

REASON # 3

• Category 5 quality harvest regulations were formulated to provide a greater diversity of angling experiences, especially opportunities to fish populations of wild trout that have a natural size and age distribution unaltered by excessive harvest.

Such opportunities are the kind anglers might expect in remote destinations far from home. Those locations have far fewer people, far fewer population densities than the rural areas of Wisconsin. Those kinds of opportunities should not be put at risk out on the few waters that are now designated as Category 5.
