Commercial fishing needs to be better monitored. Every year people come across floating nets full of dead fish.I've personally seen dead pallet loads of fish in nets in a Morson Twp dump.

Designate Rainy River as a no fish zone from ice out to the May 24.The river is over fished during this period and the damage to spawning fish devastating.Be it catch and release or not.

Ice fishing at the mouth of the Rainy River and vicinity is too populated.Ice fishing sees more anglers coming to the Baudette Mn area than traditional summer fishing. Ice fishing villages put a terriffic,location specific, strain on the fish population.Not to mention the enviroment concerns of garbage and human.

I realize two of these issues are international in scope but the lake and fish are unaware of that.
