DNR changes for Michigan fishing

[ready2fish]

was reading some of the new rules for 2009 and here is a quote

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anglers have been allowed to use three rods when fishing for salmon on the Great Lakes for a number of years, but were restricted to two rods elsewhere and when pursuing other species in the Great Lakes. A survey of anglers showed overwhelming public support for three rods. The new regulation, which takes effect April 1, 2009, allows anglers to use three rods on all waters and in pursuit of all species, though the DNR retains the authority to reduce the rule to two rods if necessary

this should have been done long time ago, it shouldn't matter how many lines your using, you still have a fish limit. Any how I'm pretty excited

Congrats, 3 is a reasonable number. I sometimes used 4, but most of the time will have only 3 out if doing a search for them. With 3 rods passing through a school of hungry Crappie, it's on ina flash and 3's bout all I can deal with at once.
