Regulation Clarification

[Fishtails]

Maybe you guys can clarify something for me. I think I have the answer right, but I have been wrong before so I'm a little skittish

 

The wind forecast this weekend looks bleak. My Sodus Pro Am team is me, my son and my wife (if it's calm). Calm is out of the picture I guess so that leaves Me and Justin.  That gets me to my question. Two of us will only be able to possess 6 combined species of brown, steel & salmon. That's ok because it's a 6 fish box tourney for the Am.

 

It's the bonus lake trout I am questioning. It looks like I can keep 2 per person per regulations In addition to my 6 combined species.

So I would be legal bringing my 6 silvers PLUS 1 bonus lake trout on a two man limit?  Am I reading the regulations correct?

You are correct per DEC. Totally separate from the silver fish. Don't forget the slot either. For one person its one laker under 25, between 25-30, or over 30" then the second has to be under 25 or over 30". You can't keep two 27" fish per person for example.

I don't know what Sodus ProAm rules will specify as legal however.

Thanks!  That is how i read it but wanted to be sure.

You're also allowed 1 Atlantic >25" per person so the total NYS limits are

 

3- Chinooks, Cohos, Browns,(>15") or Steelhead(>21") in combination

2- Lakers

1- Atlantic(>25")

__________

6 fish max per person

Remember ams don't have to worry about the slot as you are only allowed one lake trout for the tournament. Regulations allow one fish in the slot and one out of the slot.
