What is the minimum size requirement for Brown Trout in both North and South Zones?

The minimum size requirement for Brown Trout in both North and South Zones is 14 inches. This regulation is designed to ensure that Brown Trout have the opportunity to grow and reach a size that allows for sustainable fishing practices. By establishing a minimum size limit, the goal is to promote a healthier fish population and maintain ecological balance in waterways.

Implementing size limits helps prevent overfishing of smaller, juvenile fish, allowing them to reach maturity and reproduce. This management strategy is crucial for the long-term viability of the species as well as for anglers who are looking for a rewarding fishing experience. The restriction at 14 inches aligns with conservation efforts to maintain fish populations and preserve the fishing resource for future generations.
