jolicious Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 Recevied a note froma bddy this morning and thought I'd share: "Ron Moore wanted me to let you all know about a meeting the AGFC is having on Beaver Lake kentucky bass length limits. This meeting will be held at the Ozarks Electric building on Hwy 16 west at 7 pm Thursday May 23. Try to make it if you can." Hope everyone has a great day, Joe

jolicious Posted June 11, 2013 Author Posted June 11, 2013 I didn't go either, was the night of lil bit's recital
Quillback Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Nope, did not go. My guess is that unless they heard some serious opposition to the new limits, that the new limits will be implemented.
Members NWAfishbiologist Posted June 11, 2013 Members Posted June 11, 2013 We held the informational meeting and had 1 person show up. I am compiling the comments we received on our website about the regulation change. If we don't have much opposition to removing the Beaver Lake Spotted Bass 12 inch minimum length limit, we will remove it on January 1, 2014. We will continue to study the population on Beaver Lake and will evaluate the regulation change a few years after implementation. On a side note, we harvested the Beaver Lake Nursery Pond today and stocked thousands of fingerling largemouth bass into Beaver Lake. I have attached some pictures of the sizes of largemouth we stocked in the lake. A few largemouth were 3 inches long and they have been eating the smaller bass in the pond. We release the pond when the fingerling bass average 2 inches long. We do not have an estimate on numbers at this time, but will in the next couple of weeks. If anyone has any questions, give me a call or email. Jon Stein Fish Management Biologist Arkansas Game and Fish Commission 2805 West Oak Street Rogers, AR 72758 479-631-6005 jestein@agfc.state.ar.us

J-Doc Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Those little tots are the cutest little things!! Lol! Thank you for the update. Please continue to post here. We very much appreciate what you're doing and it would be awesome to have reports of any kind posted here on Beaver Lake. We would love the information. I think it could promote some good press for the AGFC as well. (Plug) lol! Need marine repair? Send our own forum friend "fishinwrench" a message. He will treat you like family!!!
