Keeper fluke in 2026

[holty]

Hoping the powers that be significantly reduce the length of the fluke season this year, which should, in turn, allow anglers to keep 18" fish. It would be a big help here on the north side. Am I dreaming?
Happy New Year, Holty

They really should reduce the bag limit and the length of season. Adding the half inch in August is ludicrous.

Agreed. The length in season was given with the addition of the 0.5". I don't go for Fluke in October.
