All Ohio Waters LiberaIized
For Year Around Fishing
Commercial Areas In Lake
Erie And Hatchery Waters
Excluded InNew Ruling

In one sweeping move, the Ohio
Wildlife Council liberalized fish
ing in all Ohio waters, with the
exception of state fish hatcheries
and commercial fishing in Lake
Erie waters, at the annual meet
ing of the organization in Colum-
bus last week.
The new ruling means that
fishermen in Ohio may take any
number of fish, regardless of size
and at any time of the year, after
next March l. 1t applies, how
ever, to only those waters in Ohio
in which the fish life is under the
jurisdiction of the Division Of
Wildlife.
Liberalization will not apply to
public bathing beaches which are
under the administration of the
Department of Natural ReSourc.
eS.
Other than those exceptions
Ohio's $4,000 miles of streams and
2 IA million acres of impound-
ed waters will be without restric-
tions after March l.
The action of the Council fol-
lowed the recommendation of the
majority of districts represented
at the state fish hearing held ear
lier in the day and also the re-
commentator by the fish man.
agement section of the Ohio Divi-
sion of Wildlife that the waters
of the state be liberalized.
No Closed Season
Liberalized fishing in common
terms means that there will be no
closed seasons on any species, that
fishermen are not restricted as to
the number of fish they may catch
and that there is no size limita-
tions on the fish they catch.
The sweeping liberalization
move follows seven years of ex-
perimentation with the concept,
which started il, Ohio in 1945. At
that time one lake was liberalized.
Since that time the number of
lakes and streams under the liber-
allied program was extended un-
til this year a total of l30 lakes
and seven streams were liberaliz-
ed.
9 1t is believed that Ohio is the
first state in the nation to adopt
the total liberalization policy.
Other actions by the Council,
which were also based on the
recommendation carried to the
annual fish hearing by represen-
tatives from the six conservation
districts of Ohio we're:

TIE Council on the recommen-
dation of District No. 2 (north-
western sectiom adopted an order
prohibiting the use of stakes in
securing trot lines in Ohio. The
recommendation was made by the
District on the basis that the
stakes were not being removed
and were causing damage to boats
and creating hazard to boating.
