Anglers are being advised that the area of St. Joseph River north of Fort Wayne commonly known as Cedarville Reservoir is subject to size and bag limit regulations on black bass for rivers and streams, not the general lake regulations.
Anglers may take up to five black bass in this area, but none can be between 12 to 15 inches in length and no more than two can be over 15 inches. This is commonly referred to as a slot limit.
Black bass is a term for largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass.
State regulations for black bass caught in lakes allow five fish with a minimum size of 14 inches.
Special regulations apply on Lake Michigan and several other lakes, streams and rivers across Indiana. Consult the Indiana Fishing Guide for details or visit www.fishing.IN.gov.

The Indiana Natural Resources Commission on Tuesday gave its final approval to a number of revisions to rules governing fish and wildlife resources but did not authorize the extension of the archery season or the addition of a primitive muzzleloader season for deer hunting.
The archery season will remain the same as last year (Oct. 1 through Jan. 5, 2014) and there will continue to be only one muzzleloader season, which runs from Dec. 7-22 this year.
The Commission went along with the majority of public comments received and the DNR Division of Fish & Wildlifes request to remove the two deer season proposals from the rule package because the Division felt they are not needed to manage the deer population, have the potential to create confusion among hunters, and make it more difficult to evaluate the impact of new deer hunting rules that went into effect last year.
