CAB supports fisheries rule updates including motor restrictions at Battle Born Pond and pike control measures
Summary
The CAB backed proposed Commission Regulation 528 to set motor restrictions at Battle Born Pond, adopt a mandatory catch‑and‑kill rule for northern pike at Cummins Lake, and revise bait and ice‑hole size rules for certain fisheries.
Commission Regulation 528 was presented to the CAB to set motor restrictions at Battle Born Pond (Spanish Springs Valley), institute a mandatory catch‑and‑kill regulation for northern pike at Cummins Lake, allow processed bait such as sardines and anchovies in certain contexts, and revise ice‑hole size for spear/bow fishing at Cummins Lake. CAB members described the package as common‑sense housekeeping and supported the changes.
CAB members noted the measures align season and gear rules across jurisdictions (for example on the Colorado River) and said the proposals clean up inconsistent language in the current code. A CAB member characterized the motor and bait changes as sensible housekeeping that would simplify enforcement and public understanding. The CAB moved and supported the regulation by voice vote.
