" CALLIE " on the michigan board came across some lamprey attached to a rock while fishing , sea lamprey are an invasive species here in michigan .
does your state have any special fishing regulations concerning invasive species (as far as fishing regulations are concerned )? limits , lengths , what is or is not permited , or is it just an open season on them .
i have never heard this discussed by the d.n.r. in our state . i'm gonna have to look inti it , just to be safe .

Hey Loner,
Here in MN they have specific rules about them. Pretty much... don't touch. Leave them there. Don't even think about transporting them elsewhere.

LOL. I'd love to get one of them Goby's that aren't supposed to be in our waters and keep it in my aquarium. But even that's against the law here. [mad]

Hi lonehunter,
In California, we have a northern pike problem in one lake in northern California. They've tried to blast 'em, poison 'em but still not progress. You can catch all you want as there're no limit as far as the DFG is concerned.
The idiots that plant fish like that are called... are you ready....? Bucket Biologist! ha ha ha Just one more for the dictionary.

Now, a Sea Lamprey in my aquarium wouldn't work. It's not big enough. But wait until I build my dream house then you'll see a couple in my aquarium that surrounds most of the house.
Hehe. Me and my dreams. Maybe one day... maybe one day....

Good idea. I'd love to see it.
I still need to get to the aquarium in Duluth. Supposed to be all native stuff, all freshwater.
Hmmm, wonder if I can sneak my fishing gear in with me.
