All fishing length and daily bag limits at Carter Lake will be rescinded from Jan. 31 through Sept. 30 so fish salvage may take place, according to the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission.

The existing fish community in the Douglas County lake will be renovated this fall as part of a lake restoration project.

“Normally, when we make a request to relax regulations for a fish salvage, we recommend allowing the use of a variety of techniques not normally legal,” said Don Gabelhouse, Fisheries Division administrator. “In this case, where we share Carter Lake with the State of Iowa, which has a different set of salvage regulations, we need to be consistent across the lake.”

Because of this, the two-pole restriction (five for ice fishing) will be rescinded. The harvest of all species will be allowed using an unlimited number of poles, as long as there are no more than two hooks per line and all poles are attended.

Also, harvested fish may not be sold, and transporting live harvested fish from the lake will be prohibited
