LENGTH LIMITS AND CLEANING OF FISH
Where length and bag limits apply, fish may not be filleted until fishing is completed for the day
and anglers are off the water. Fish subject to bag and possession limits but not length limits,
may be processed before transport if the fillets are kept in one piece until cooked, so the bag and
possession limits can be determined. Fish species subject to a length limit may not be possessed
with more than the gills, viscera and scales removed while on the water, wading or engaged in
fishing. Any fish in possession while on the water will be subject to length and bag limits that apply
to that water body. Once off the water, the fish may be filleted for transportation and storage.
