TO APPROVE REGULATIONS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES, RELATING TO TROUT HARVEST, DESIGNATED AS REGULATION DOCUMENT NUMBER 2690, PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE 1, CHAPTER 23, TITLE 1 OF THE 1976 CODE.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. The regulations of the Department of Natural Resources, relating to Trout Harvest, designated as Regulation Document Number 2690, and submitted to the General Assembly pursuant to the provisions of Article 1, Chapter 23, Title 1 of the 1976 Code, are approved.
SECTION 2. This joint resolution takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
The regulation establishes new protections for trout in portions of three streams by restricting harvest and lure configurations available to anglers. The use of these restrictions is designed to enhance angling opportunities. The proposed regulation will restrict fishing in a 1.5 mile leased portion of the Middle Saluda River (Greenville County) to catch-and-release only. In Cheohee Creek and Chattooga River (Oconee County) fishing will be restricted to single barb hooks with all fish being released from November 1 through May 14.
