While the saying
“let them go and watch them grow” is an important message in the management of a fishery, so is harvesting. The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife is encouraging anglers to harvest their catch this season. Decades ago, Maine s fisheries saw more fishing pressure and higher harvest rates. These days more harvest is needed to maintain healthy fish populations, and to achieve size quality management goals.
Maine fisheries biologists say: Over the years harvesting your catch has become less popular. Even with liberal bag limits for some waters and biologists specifically asking anglers to keep their catch, the benefits of fish harvest are greater than ever. So they re now seeking harvest participation on specific areas of water around the state.
