The Minnesota DNR is looking to raise the daily yellow bass limit in area lakes. The proposal would increase the possession limit from 30 to 100 yellow bass in the Fairmont chain of lakes: Amber, Hall, Budd, Sisseton, and George as well as Lake Imogene in Martin County and Clear Lake in Jackson County. Windom area fisheries supervisor Ryan Doorenbos says yellow bass, while native to the Mississippi River, were not originally found in southern Minnesota lakes. But in the Fairmont chain, their numbers have skyrocketed in just the last decade, now dominating the fish population. The DNR says the higher limit would help manage that growth while also aligning with social expectations of local anglers. A public input meeting on the proposal will be held Wednesday, September 10th, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Fairmont Public Library. An online option will also be available through the Windom Area Fisheries page on the DNR website at www.mndnr.gov/areas/fisheries/windom .
