| 691.1 | Alot of Changes, But here are some. | BOOTES::KEYES | | Thu Apr 28 1988 15:34 | 11 |
| There are several changes that have gone into law this year and
I would highly suggest that yo get a copy of the laws. Some of the
changes affect verious fish lenths and limits from different lakes
and ponds. You have to kill any fish you want to keep, some ponds
that you could use a motor, this year you cannot. Again, I highly
recommend that you get a copy of the laws since you and I know that
they don't leave to much room for error in the state of Maine and
going up there not knowing the laws is crazy.
Regards.

> You have to kill any fish you want to keep, some ponds
I just heard about this yesterday. New state law in Maine is "no livewells
are to used". It's either immediate "catch n release" or "catch n kill".
This is really going to put a damper on all the Bass clubs in Maine.
Imagine having a federated chairperson on each boat during tournaments
to weigh the fish so it can be documented then released right away.
Any of you Maine guys know any more about this?

re; .2
All gamefish including BASS must be killed immediately if kept for
the bag. The minimum size limit on BASS is 12 inches. The maximum
count is 5 fish or seven lbs whichever comes first.
There are special regulations for tournaments which do allow livewelling...
The minimum size limit during these tourneys is increased to 16 inches.
Needless to say the state bass boys are up in arums about this...more
than a little upset appears....

| 691.4 | Sounds like a bad law | VICKI::DODIER | | Wed May 24 1989 11:30 | 32 |
| I had originally entered this in note 1112 but after reading
it, decided it had nothing to do with the topic "Moosehead in July"
and would be more appropriate here.
I don't have the wording for the law that say's you can't fillet
a salmon until your ready to eat it so I'm asking anyone that knows
it to spell it out. Specifically, how does this law handle the
following situations:
You are camping in Maine and on the day your going to leave,
you decide you want to eat half of one of the salmon you caught
for breakfast. You are left with a salmon fillet.
You are camping in Maine and decide you really want to eat some
salmon. So you go to a fish market and buy some salmon. After you
fillet it (can you buy it already filleted ?), you then find out your
eyes were bigger than your stomach and you don't eat all of them. You
are left with a salmon fillet.
In the above cases, do you have to dispose of what you have
left over to remain legal ????? If the answer is yes to either of
these then my opinion is that this is a bad law. In the second case,
the person may not even be a fisherman so there would be no need
for him to read game laws. Any law that can turn normally law abiding
citizens into criminals is a bad law.
One other question, if by chance the length of the fillet was
equal to or greater than the legal length for the whole fish, would
you still get arrested/fined ? If yes, then what purpose does this law
serve in this instance ?

| 691.5 | Info please... | DONVAN::T_THEO | Can't touch this | Tue Jul 24 1990 00:13 | 22 |

A few quick questions...
I'm canoooin' on the Saco this weekend with a bunch of Yahoo friends
of mine, but would like to do a little fishing.
The first question;
How much is a 3-day non-resident fishing license?
The rest of the questions;
Where do I get one? Do I need a cold water species license for the Saco?
What's in the Saco? What kind of gear should I bring?
Finally; there's a topic in here about `canoe registration' in ME. Will
I need to register my canoe (I don't have ANY source of power aside
from paddles).

| 691.6 | I'll be doing the Merrimack | RANGER::MACINTYRE | Terminal Angler | Tue Jul 24 1990 13:02 | 3 |
| I don't recall how much the fishing licenses cost, but I can tell you
you do not have to register a non-powered canoe. Also, check out note
66 for additional saco info. donmac

Great! Thanks I'll look at 66...I did a DIR/TITLE={Maine, License},
but didn't try `SACO'.
Tim
I still need the `cost and where to get it' license info.
|
| 691.8 | still don't have the cost, but | RANGER::MACINTYRE | Terminal Angler | Tue Jul 24 1990 14:16 | 3 |
| Most marinas/tackleshops should sell licenses, last time up I got one
at a fishing camp on Sebago. As far as tackle goes, while canoeing I
almost always use an ultralight w/ 6lb test. donmac
|
| 691.9 | $18.00 | DNEAST::STEVENS_JIM | | Fri Jul 27 1990 12:12 | 18 |
| Three day non-resident fishing license will cost you $17.00 plus
one dollar to the agent, for a total of $18.00.
Where do you get it ? Most marina's, sporting good stores, and
even Laverdiere's Drug Stores...
If you going up 95, stop at the Kittery Trading post. They sell
them...Plus you can get all kinds of literature about the Saco.
I've never fished the Saco, so I can't give you any info. I believe
there are some Atlantic Salmons in the river. They require a different
license. Don't bother with one. The chance of catching an Atlantic
is pretty bad...
Have fun.
