The new regulations are scheduled to “sunset” at midnight, Jan. 1, 2028and LDWF staff are required to provide an up-to-date stock assessment before the commission’s April, 2027 meeting. This update assessment will provide the commission an opportunity to modify the regulations, if needed, before the sunset in 2028.
The current speckled trout size limit is 12” total length with a daily creel of 25 fish.
