Very interesting,  never thought I would have to leave a name at a live well in the Q (if you leave camp?). What if you don't leave camp?  They are all over the place and we seldom use them but we were base camping on Pooh Bah and kept the fish alive and cold until we were ready to eat.  I'll have to read the regs again....Seems like overkill...

 All I could find in the regs, under storing and transporting fish, seemed to be in reference to fish holding structures made with man-made materials. That's were the name and address thing comes into play.
 I've seen plenty of rock fish wells, but I thought "we" had a conversation about them, and I'm thinking the thought they were "illegal" had to do with fish mortality rates from predators or fish that get out but have been affected by heat or possibly low oxygen rates?
 It might just be faulty memory on my part Undecided

Since they were only keeping baitfish, there is no need for name/address.

I believe we've discussed fish pens before but I don't remember anyone saying they were any legal issues involved. If there were I'd bet they'd have more to do with baitfish than someone's breakfast/brunch/linner/lupper.

 db, I guess we need to determine whether THEY were eating fish as TF stated, and YOU and I believed, or BAIT-FISH as OS says Wink

Excellent POD today. I can almost feel the cold, clear water on my feet... I wonder what kind of fish is on?

WE were eating the fish,  they were all 14-16 inch fish which we consider the best  size to eat for walleyes.  If the fish looks smaller to some people,  look again.  Pictures distort the true image.  Is this the problem for someone???  We have friends that keep 12 inch walleyes and eat them,  we think that is too small.  They were not bait fish as OS suggests.  Have a good day.

Akula-- to answer your question--walleye.  We stood in that spot and caught some nice eaters in the early morning.  Pooh Bah is an extraordinary lake.  Have you ever been there?

I think it's a great idea to eat 14" walleyes and smaller is ok too. Old Salt thinks so too, he's just being Old Salt.

As far as the legality of a rock construction live well, I don't know. As far as conforming to the intent of the rules however there is really no difference between putting your fish in the well vs. putting them on a stringer. Bear in mind that they do become part of your possession limit the moment they go on a stringer or into a live well...even if they are eventually released.

Oh yes, we know that.  we only had 8 fish in the well,  our conservation limit for the day.  We didn't eat 8 fish a day though.  I understand the limits very well.  Kim
