Who makes the decisions about which streams and rivers are designated as delayed harvest waters?
Proposals for changing fishing regulations, including putting new streams in the delayed harvest program, are accepted from the public by letter or at public hearings. The Commission’s fish biologists also can make proposals where they see opportunities or biological needs. All of the proposals are given consideration and public input is solicited at the annual public hearings. The Commissioners make the final determination on regulations proposals after considering the input.
