......................15A NCAC 10C .0318 WHITE BASS
The proposed amendment to the Rule will modify the general statewide regulations for White
Bass by establishing a minimum size limit of 14 inches and reducing the daily creel limit from
25 fish to 10 fish.
The proposed change to this Rule is necessary to allow White Bass the opportunity to spawn at
least once before becoming vulnerable to harvest by anglers. This is necessary in order to sustain
the White Bass fisheries in Piedmont reservoirs.
Fiscal Impact
State Impact
This rule amendment will have no impact as the change is part of routine fisheries management.
Local Impact
This rule has no local government impact.
Private Impact
No substantial fiscal impacts are anticipated. While the proposed rule change will alter what
anglers may harvest, they are not expected to impact overall participation in fishing. The
Commission does not have a mechanism to determine the specific fiscal impact of the proposed
change.
