For immediate release

Night Ban has been lifted!!!!!!

Greetings Mille Lacs Fishery Input Group Members,

After reviewing catch data for the season thru June 30, we determined that the night closure would no longer be needed for the remainder of the season. There will be a general news release today (see below), but I wanted to be sure you all were the first to know about this.

Specifically, the closure will be lifted on Monday, July 21st, at 10pm. Just to clarify, you can fish at night, beginning at 10pm on the 21st, but not before 6 am on that particular day.

Take care, Rick
