Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Corrective stocking DNR issues

Now see, in my mind that's what DNR and CO's are for - actual violators. And honestly most CO's that I've met have been focused on exactly that.

But there are the anomalies - and in IL unfortunately there are more than in other states I've lived in, or at least that's my experience.

To circle back to the original topic at hand, I went camping with a Fisheries Biologist this past weekend and asked him what all he knew about that particular law (statewide creel limits on LMB) - he confirmed what I'd been told previously, that it was enacted to allow CO's to be able to police people that had private property adjoining public reservoirs.

I guess my issue there is, I understand the premise but the law now affects me and mine and we don't fall into that category. That smells strongly of an expansion of power couched as a vaguely written bill.
