Transporting Packaged Fish Must be Done Properly

North Dakota Game and Fish Department  — 7/17/2006

Anglers in North Dakota should be aware of regulations regarding packaging and transporting of fish.

"Too often anglers are just freezing a bunch of fish together instead of packaging each fish individually," said Robert Timian, chief of enforcement for the North Dakota Game and Fish Department.

North Dakota fishing regulations state that any dressed fish to be transported, if frozen, must be packaged individually. Two fillets are counted as one fish.

"There is a need to be able to reasonably count the number of fish," Timian said, "and if they are all frozen into one large block, it cannot be done. When we have to take the frozen block and thaw it, it is not very convenient for the angler or the warden."

Timian also says it is important that anglers properly interpret daily and possession limit regulations. The daily limit is a limit of fish taken from midnight to midnight, and no person may possess more than one day's limit of fish while on the water or actively engaged in fishing.

The possession limit is the maximum number of fish that an angler may have in his or her possession during a fishing trip of more than one day. "If you are fishing at a lake for four consecutive days, it is still considered a single fishing trip," Timian said, "and therefore you could only have a possession limit with you on your return drive home."
