The DNR representatives emphasized several times that plans are already under way at DNR to look very hard at the "entire" fishery. Reading between the lines last night makes me feel as if there will possibly be big changes coming in 2011. I look for a shortened spring season as well as additional restrictions on all anglers. The purpose of the 6 rod limit per DNR was to limit "encounters" with the pre-spawn fish. I would not be surprised if additional restrictions to limit "encounters" will be imposed during the catch and kill season as well. Stay tuned!.........................Mark
