LCF&G LAKE RULES
- FISHING IS A GREAT BENEFIT OF MEMBERSHIP. PLEASE HELP KEEP
OUR LAKES HEALTHY AND PRODUCTIVE BY FOLLOWING THESE RULES:
• ALL FISH ARE CATCH AND RELEASE ONLY.
• When fishing with live, dead or stink bait, use only single,
barbless hooks or have the barb flattened. Double or treble
hooks are not allowed when fishing with bait. The largest hook
that may be used is a #4.
• Fishing with live minnows is not allowed. However, 3-4” bluegills
may be caught and used as bait for bass or catfish
• No culling of fish.
• Handle bass, catfish, pike and wipers with care. If the hook has
been swallowed and cannot be reached, quickly cut the line as
close to the hook as possible and release the fish.
THESE RULES WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED.
VIOLATORS MAY LOSE THEIR MEMBERSHIP.
These rules were revised and approved be the Board of Directors
and became effective July 1, 2006
For our new members and a refresher for the old ones:
