BALSAM LAKE - A recent news release highlighting where anglers can go to harvest bass has created confusion on Polk County lakes. Current bass regulations are summarized correctly as follows:
Balsam and Big Round Lakes: There is no minimum length limit for bass, but only 1 bass less than 14 inches is allowed. Daily bag limit of 5 in total.
Ward, Big Butternut and Half Moon Lakes: No minimum length limit for bass, daily bag limit of 5 in total.
Pipe Lake: There is no minimum length limit in place for bass, but bass between 14-18 inches may not be kept and only 1 over 18 inches is allowed. Daily bag limit of three in total.
Bass on all other Polk County waters have a 14 inch minimum length limit with a daily bag limit of 5 in total.
Anglers can also consult the state’s “2009-2010 Fishing Regulations” pamphlet. Anglers with questions can also contact DNR’s call center seven days per week between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. at
