The bill now goes to the Governor for consideration.

Recent legislation passed in Michigan has simplified fishing regulations for anglers, particularly those pursuing steelhead on the state’s rivers and streams. The legislation removed a net size restriction that has been in place for many years to protect spawning salmon from illegally being harvested. With the removal of this restriction, anglers now legally may use hand nets with handle lengths longer than 14 inches. The regulation created a safety issue for anglers fishing for steelhead from boats, as there was concern anglers would not be safe if they had to lean over the side of their boat to net a steelhead with such a short net handle. Anglers still can only use hand nets to help land lawfully hooked fish, except under a few circumstances.
