DISCOVERING | 3 Big Fishing Regulation Changes for 2026, Fly Fishing Film Festival Preview

Episode 178 - Depending on what species you target, where you fish and how you fish, 3 big fishing regulation changes might impact your next fishing trip. I talk with the DNR about them, the rationale behind them and how they came about. And last year the DNR proposed protective slot limits for walleye on 10 inland lakes in the U.P. but only 2 of those lakes were approved by the Natural Resources Commission. I talked to the NRC to learn why.

And there's a U.P. Fly Fishing Film Festival this weekend in Marquette. I have a preview of the event.
