The Michigan DNR is accepting input on a proposal to allow anglers to use 3 rods statewide. Now might be the best opportunity to get 3 rods per angler when fishing Michigan waters of Lake Erie.

FAQ at:
http://www.michigan.gov/documents/dnr/Three-lines-FAQ_232625_7.pdf

Email address for input:
DNR-Fish-3lines@Michigan.gov

I'm not sure how this would work out for pier guys, but for those of us that are primarily great lakes trollers, I see this as a big positive.

My email in support already sent.

Mich went to 3 rods per license a couple of years ago for the trollers.

Only on Lakes Michigan, Huron, and Superior and only when trolling specifically for trout and salmon.

The current rules for Lake Erie are maximum of 2 rods per angler in Michigan waters. Ohio waters of Lake Erie are also 2 rods per angler.

I see that Wisconsin allows 3 rods. I assume that's anywhere in the state. Any issues?

Hal,IF trolling is allowed its 3 lines.Most of the inland lakes are not allowed for trolling.Sometimes figurin if you can troll or not is another story.The way the word the rulebook sometimes is not the most clear.

Thank you for your input, Coz.

Indiana, do you have any issues with 3 rods?

Good luck getting Ohio to follow suit on that one. I got absolutely CREAMED on Ohiogamefishing for suggesting that OH should consider three rods per angler...

Basically got called things like..."poacher" "gamehog" "glutton", etc. etc.

I saw what happened to you on OGF. I was a silent supporter for you.

The rod limit makes no sense to me. Last trip for me was all catch and release, why limit my rods?


Sidenote, still getting reports of Hawgs being caught near Huron.

I support the three rods, but no increase to daily bag limit.
