SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 27
(By Senator Green)
Requesting the Division of Natural Resources set a minium length of
12 inches on all species of black bass taken in the lakes,
rivers and streams of this state and set a daily limit of six
bass per person.
Whereas, Sportsmen and women of this state spend much of their
leisure time fishing for bass in lakes, rivers and streams of this
state; and
Whereas, The lakes, rivers and streams of this state could be
better managed to improve the quality of trophy bass for the many
people who fish this state's waters each year; and
Whereas, Many more people would visit this state's beautiful
lakes, rivers and streams to fish for bass if the quality and size
of the bass were greater; and
Whereas, The "business of bass fishing" could generate
significant tourism and economic development in West Virginia if
the state's bass fisheries were better managed to produce more
trophy bass; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Division of Natural Resources is hereby requested to
set a minium length of 12 inches on all species of black bass taken
in the lakes, rivers and streams of this state and set a daily limit of six bass per person; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk of the Senate is hereby
directed to forward a copy of this resolution to the Director of
the Division of Natural Resources.
