Husky I'm all for what Jon and you are suggesting for a creel limit during those times, it would reduce the number of fish taken out of a lake, from what I can tell (and I'm new to this ice fishing thing) most ice fisherman keep what they catch. To me IMHO ice fishing is boring, how much fun can you have fighting a fish through a hole in the ice? I'd rather see them do a tail stand and jump around. I have to recant what I said in the past a creel limit during those months might make a positive impact. At the least it would make the ice fisherman have to go back out in the cold multiple days to catch the same amount of fish.
