Bowfin are among the fish that would gain harvest limits and protections under proposed rules.
The DNR has proposed limits and other protections for native rough fish, and we’re inviting you to comment on the newly proposed rules for these fishes — including bowfin, buffalo, carpsucker, freshwater drum, goldeye, mooneye, quillback, redhorses and suckers.
In proposing these new rules, we’re continuing efforts to conserve these important species. Over the last handful of years, we’ve seen renewed appreciation for the role these fish play in aquatic ecosystems of our rivers and lakes. The DNR news release has more about the proposed rules and how to comment.
