Maintain a 6-bass bag limit in Mud Lake to protect quality largemouth bass fishery.
Rationale
Mud Lake is the third public water supporting bass in the Upper Snake Region. If the proposal to remove the regional bag limit for bass is approved, an exception may need to be developed for Mud Lake.
This proposed exception would set the daily bag limit as 6 bass. As the only water-supporting quality bass fishery in this area, this exception would maintain quality bass fishing opportunity while still allowing some harvest.
Review the proposal below and submit by June 10, 2024, at 6 p.m. MDT.
After reviewing feedback and considering agency goals, season recommendations will be presented to the Commission for their consideration at the July 2024 meeting.
