North Dakota Game and Fish proposes new regulations

(Bismarck, ND)  --  The North Dakota Game and Fish Department is considering new restrictions for fishing tournaments.  

The proposed rule would limit the number of donations from these competitions to only one non-profit community event.  

Officials believe this would ensure competitors are following the regulations.  

However, event organizers and community members say this could lead to a large amount of fish being thrown out.  

The agency says the new restrictions would only impact about five tournaments across the state.
