FLOAT EXPERIENCE FLY FISHING
The lake we will be fishing is a designated trophy fishery. The follow is an excerpt from the fishing regulations.
Anglers have been participating since the 1960s in the ADF&G Trophy Fish Program, which gives special recognition to anglers taking fish that meet minimum weight(trophy certificates) or length standards(catch_and_release certificates) within a species. Trophy fish for both certificates must be legally caught from waters open to the public, in compliance with current ADF&G sport fishing regulations.
Minimum weight for trophy fish certificates for rainbow trout is 15lb. Entries must be weighed in the presence of witnesses and a Trophy Fish Official, on a scale certified by the Devision of Weights and Measures. At least one witness is mandatory, as is a photograph.
For catch-and-release honorary certificates, do not remove your fish from the water. Hold it just at the waters surface while a photograph is taken, then release it into the current.
Minimum lengths for catch-and-release honorary certificates:
Arctic char/Dolly Varden, 30 inches; Arctic grayling, 18 inches; brook trout and cutthroat trout, 20 inches; lake trout, 36 inches; rainbow trout, 32 inches.
In long lake the fishing regulations state that only single unbated hooks can be used. All fish must be released.
