    Revived Trout Fisheries and Trophy Bass: Arkansas Game and Fish Commission Eases Regulations

    The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission unanimously approved new trout regulations effective February 1, easing prior restrictions on four key tailwater fisheries after hatchery setbacks last year. On the White River from Bull Shoals Dam to Norfork Access and the North Fork River from Norfork Dam to Norfork Access, anglers may keep two rainbow trout under 14 inches, releasing all other species immediately. Downstream on the White River to Arkansas Highway 58 bridge, the limit is two trout daily with one over 14 inches permitted. Beaver and Greers Ferry Tailwaters allow two trout of any species, releasing those longer than 14 inches. These changes respond to die-offs at Norfork National Fish Hatchery and Arkansas Game and Fish Commissions Jim Hinkle Spring River State Fish Hatchery from natural events and infrastructure issues, aiming to boost fishing while stocks recover, according to Arkansas Game and Fish Commission reports. Also in Arkansas, Lake Monticello in southeastern Arkansas reopened for harvest post-renovation, famed for trophy largemouth bass over eight pounds and abundant crappie. Anglers can keep five bass daily with one over 16 inches, plus 15 crappie with seven at 12 inches or longer, balancing populations and forage amid a new lake effect boom, as stated by Arkansas Game and Fish Commission Fisheries Division chief Tommy Laird. In Arizona, the Game and Fish Commission met February 6 in Phoenix to update on state and federal lands planning, commission priorities, and public comments, per Sportsmens Alliance news. Floridas Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission approved 2026-27 hunting rules for Wildlife Management Areas and Environmental Areas at its February meeting, incorporating over 18,000 public responses since August 2025, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission announced.

    Trout Fishing Limits Eased in Arkansas After Hatchery Shortages

    The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission unanimously approved new trout regulations for 2026 on January 17, easing limits on four famous tailwater fisheries after last year's hatchery shortages. Anglers on the White River from Bull Shoals Dam to Norfork Access and the North Fork River from Norfork Dam to Norfork Access can now keep two rainbow trout under 14 inches daily. This follows emergency restrictions due to die-offs and infrastructure failures at the Norfork National Fish Hatchery and Arkansas Game and Fish Commission's Jim Hinkle Spring River State Fish Hatchery from natural events. The changes aim to boost trout fishing while hatcheries recover. Commissioners also set fishing limits for Lake Monticello in southeastern Arkansas, effective February 1. Anglers may keep five largemouth bass daily, with only one over 16 inches, plus 15 crappie, limited to seven over 12 inches. The renovated lake, stocked with forage species, shows a new lake effect boom, yielding bass over five pounds and some nearing eight pounds. Data indicates harvesting smaller bass reduces forage pressure, aiding larger fish growth, while curbing overabundant crappie balances the food chain, per AGFC Fisheries Division chief Tommy Laird. In other updates, AGFC Director Doug Schoenrock promoted Joe Williams to Enforcement Division colonel. Staff previewed the regulations process, planning to eliminate over 40 rules and consolidate others for simplicity, with proposals for review on February 19, public surveys after, and final votes in April. Nationwide, state commissions advanced game and fish management. Idaho's Fish and Game Commission met January 15 in Boise, setting upland game, furbearer, and falconry seasons, approving 2026 Owyhee bighorn sheep seasons and turkey tag discounts, plus updates on strategic plans and fisher augmentation.

    Game and Fish Agencies Reshape Hunting and Fishing Seasons with Habitat Funding, Regulatory Updates, and Public Engagement

    Across the United States this week, game and fish agencies are combining regulation work, habitat funding, and public involvement to shape the next hunting and fishing seasons. In Arkansas, the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission announced a second round of its Conservation Incentive Program, offering six hundred fifty thousand dollars to private landowners for habitat projects that benefit native wildlife, with applications open through early February, according to the Commission’s January 7 news release from Little Rock. This funding targets practices such as prescribed burning, invasive species control, and grassland or wetland restoration on working lands. In Wyoming, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department reports that it has opened public comment on a suite of hunting and fishing regulations ahead of its January commission meeting in Cheyenne, where final recommendations will be made. The agency is encouraging hunters, anglers, and landowners to review proposed changes online and submit feedback before the commission acts. On the West Coast, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife has released its January calendar of events, which includes a January thirteen Wildlife Resources Committee meeting in Sacramento and online, as reported by the department. The same calendar highlights a statewide deer conservation and management plan public meeting in Oakland on January twelve and another in south Sacramento on January twenty one, reflecting an ongoing push to update long term deer management with broad public input. California is also scoping environmental impacts for changes to the 2026 to 2027 waterfowl, coot, and moorhen hunting regulations through an online public session later this month. In the Pacific Northwest, the Sportsmens Alliance notes that the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Commission is holding a hybrid meeting on January nine to receive a staff briefing on the final draft of a new game management plan that has been in development since 2022, signaling upcoming shifts in how Washington structures seasons, harvest objectives, and nonhunting recreation. Nationally, The Wildlife Society reports that the United States Fish and Wildlife Service is distributing more than fifty five million dollars to state fish and wildlife agencies through the State Wildlife Grant Program to conserve at risk species and their habitats, reinforcing the financial backbone of many state game and fish projects. The Service also announced that special agent Erryl Wolgemuth of its Office of Law Enforcement received the 2025 Guy Bradley Award, underscoring the role of wildlife crime enforcement in supporting sustainable hunting and fishing. Taken together, these developments point to a clear pattern this week, with game and fish agencies emphasizing habitat incentives on private lands, intensive planning for big game and waterfowl seasons, expanded public participation in commission decisions, and continued federal investment in state level wildlife conservation.

    Exciting Changes Ahead: New Hunting and Fishing Regulations for 2026

    Several states are making significant updates to their hunting and fishing regulations as we enter 2026. Arizona Game and Fish Department is proposing changes to striped bass and catfish limits at two major lakes. According to their November announcement, Nevada Department of Wildlife will remove the twenty fish daily bag limit on striped bass over twenty inches at both Lake Mead and Lake Mohave, effective January first. Arizona is proposing to match Nevada's regulations by changing their daily bag limit to unlimited striped bass and twenty five catfish at both lakes. The department's research indicates that removing the twenty fish limit on striped bass will have no negative impact on population size or growth, since striped bass growth depends more on food availability than harvest rates. Surveys also show most anglers rarely harvest the previous twenty fish limit. For catfish, Arizona's current limit of ten at these lakes differs from Nevada's twenty five daily bag limit, creating confusion among anglers. The proposed change will standardize regulations across both states, simplifying enforcement. Data from both states show no evidence that either species will be negatively affected. The Arizona Game and Fish Commission will present these proposed regulation changes at its public meeting on January sixteenth, twenty twenty six, in Phoenix. In Arkansas, the state is celebrating its fifth annual Umarex Big Squirrel Challenge, scheduled for January ninth and tenth. This family friendly hunting competition invites hunters to harvest their three largest squirrels during a twenty four hour hunting period from noon on Friday through noon on Saturday. According to the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, hunters can harvest up to twelve squirrels per day during the event, but only the three heaviest squirrels from each team will be weighed and scored. The competition features thirteen weigh in locations across Arkansas, including sites in Springdale, Pine Bluff, Jonesboro, Fort Smith, and other communities. There is no registration fee required, and every hunter who weighs in squirrels is entered for door prizes at each location. Winners in various categories, including fox squirrels only, gray squirrels only, and mixed bags, will receive medals at their local weigh in stations. Top teams in the state will win high powered Umarex air rifles. Additionally, Arkansas anglers interested in pursuing trophy alligator gar have until December thirty first to apply for the twenty twenty six Alligator Gar Trophy Tag program. According to the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, the drawing occurred on January second. Recipients will be selected from among two hundred available tags. The tags are necessary to keep alligator gar longer than thirty six inches, though catch and release fishing is permitted without a tag. All harvested alligator gar must be reported within twelve hours of harvest and temporarily tagged using a provided possession tag.

    Protecting Marine Habitats and Endangered Species: Highlights from State Fish and Game Agencies

    Good evening. Here is the latest news from Game and Fish agencies across the United States. California's Fish and Game Commission has taken significant action to protect marine resources. At a December tenth and eleventh meeting in Sacramento, the Commission unanimously voted to extend the red abalone recreational fishery closure in Northern California for ten additional years until April first, twenty thirty six. This decision comes after California's red abalone population declined by approximately eighty five percent following a two thousand fourteen kelp forest collapse triggered by a marine heatwave. The loss of kelp, which is the abalone's primary food source, combined with increasing purple sea urchin densities that prevent kelp recovery, has devastated the population. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife will now develop a statewide red abalone restoration plan with adaptive strategies to support population recovery. During that same Sacramento meeting, the Commission also determined that Bear Lake buckwheat should be listed as an endangered species under California's Endangered Species Act. A September twenty twenty five survey found as few as seven hundred forty four plants of this rare shrub growing over one and a half acres near Big Bear Lake in Southern California. This location represents the only place in the world where this species is known to exist. The species faces ongoing threats from habitat destruction and human disturbances. The Commission received important findings regarding mountain lions in California's central coast and southern regions. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife found that these mountain lion populations are discrete, significant, and imperiled. The department has recommended that the Commission identify a distinct population segment of mountain lions to be listed as threatened under the California Endangered Species Act. This recommendation follows a twenty twenty decision from April indicating that a petition to list the species may be warranted. In Florida, the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission announced major conservation achievements for twenty twenty five. The state extended its Gulf red snapper recreational season to a record breaking one hundred twenty seven days, the longest season since Florida assumed management of the fishery. Additionally, Florida's sea turtle conservation efforts achieved significant milestones, with the Wildlife Research Section monitoring approximately one hundred sixty eight thousand four hundred forty nests across thirteen hundred fifty two kilometers of beaches. This included a record breaking nesting season for endangered leatherbacks and the second highest year on record for green turtles. The team also rescued one thousand four hundred ten cold stunned sea turtles during January, with most recovering and being released within two weeks. These recent actions demonstrate the ongoing commitment by state Game and Fish agencies to protect and restore critical wildlife populations and habitats across the United States.
