This is from the Fishing booklet,
new regulation
• Trout:
»»From 6:00 a.m. 3rd Saturday April–last
day February, 12" to 16" protected slot
limit. Daily creel limit—5, only 1 may
be 16" or greater.
»»From March 1–March 31; Daily creel
limit—1, 16" minimum length.
• Broodstock Atlantic salmon have
been stocked several times into this
lake, first in 2007 and most recently
in December, 2011. Regulations for
salmon are the same as for trout
except: Daily creel limit—1 Atlantic
salmon.

The fishing season for me is 3rd Sat in April till maybe Oct 1.

My question is, if I'm fishing by myself, and I catch 5 trout, NOT in the slot, I understand that i can keep all 5 trout, and I can only keep 4 trout less than 12 inches and one over 16 inches. Is this correct?

My next question, if the above question is accurate, how does the Salmon regulation work. Say I also catch 1 salmon, along with what I described above, can I keep all 6 fish? Or do i have to return the 16 inch trout, or one of the other non-slot fish?

And as I read the regulation(s), this applies to each occupant of the boat, regardless of age or the number of people in the boat?

Thanks for clearing up my lack of understanding to the regulation(s).
