Concord, NH – The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department (NHFG) will hold public informational sessions on August 27 at the Department’s Headquarters at 11 Hazen Drive, Concord, NH, and on August 28 at the Department’s Region 1 Office at 629B Main Street, Lancaster, NH. Both meetings will begin at 6:00 p.m. The goal of these meetings is to gather feedback on proposed rule changes regarding freshwater fishing in the state.
The Inland Fisheries Division has been diligently working to reorganize and clarify the rules for water bodies managed for recreational fishing. NHFG Inland Fisheries Division would like to complete this objective for the 2025 fishing season. Proposed changes are currently in draft development and include modifications to the management category and seasons associated with the state’s designated trout ponds. These two public informational sessions are not official public hearings and are being held to provide opportunities for anglers to express their interests and concerns on the direction of the proposed fishing rules.
The public is invited to attend to provide feedback. The proposed changes can be viewed ahead of the meetings by visiting https://www.wildlife.nh.gov/sites/g/files/ehbemt746/files/documents/fisheries-proposed-changes.pdf.
Written comments on the proposed changes may be submitted up until Midnight, September 6, 2024, by mail to Executive Director, New Hampshire Fish and Game Department, 11 Hazen Dr., Concord, NH, 03301; faxed to (603) 271-5829; or emailed to comments@wildlife.nh.gov.
