Great news for the charter fishing captions in the north land. An emergency rule governing the lake trout harvest in Lake Superior gained approval Wednesday from the Wisconsin Natural Resources Board. The rule calls for a daily bag limit of three lake trout in key recreational areas.

This summer I will be having the opportunity to head out on the big lake and take that charter fishing adventure I have wanted to do for years.

The new rule, which will be sent to Gov. Scott Walker for review and approval before it takes effect, establishes a recreational daily harvest of trout. This would apply to both WI-1 and WI-2 waters of Lake Superior.

The new rule also separates lake trout from other trout species for clarification. This change will allow sport anglers to harvest five trout in addition to their lake trout bag.

Another reason I'm a summer time type of guy.
