How would you vote and WHY?

Two questions:

26. Extension of the Inland Trout Season
The inland trout season in Wisconsin presently closes on September 30th. Some trout anglers feel
that an extension of the season through the end of October would provide added fishing opportunity
and allow sportspersons an added opportunity during the fall fishing and hunting seasons. Several
other states have later closure dates or are open year around. It is anticipated that fishing pressure
would be light at that time of the year and pose no threat to the trout population in our inland streams.
? Would you support the inland trout season to open the first Saturday closest to May 1 st and
continue though October 31 st?



27. Open the Wisconsin Inland Trout Season One Week Prior to the Regular Fishing Season Opener
The inland trout season has opened for many years on the Saturday closest to May 1 st concurrent
with the regular fishing season opener. Participation in the total opening day fishing experience by the
general public has decreased in recent years. Opening the regular trout fishing season one week prior
to the regular fishing opener would increase participation by anglers for both trout and other species.
? Would you support the inland trout season to opening one week earlier than the general fishing
opener?
