I contacted Capt. Chadwick - Region 6 about the issues on the bag limit and the wording. He contact Mike Scharpf, Region 6 Biologist. Capt. Chadwick sent the following:

"I spoke with Mike Scharpf who was already aware of this issue. He and I discussed pamphlet language for next year.

For this year, Mike has put together a summary (attached) to clarify the intent. The issue of clarity surrounds the availability of space in the pamphlet each year, but as we discussed, if we need to articulate a rule for clarity then we need to argue for more space."

I apologize for the format posted below. It doesn't copy very well from Excel to Word and then copied for pasting on this page. Hopefully, you can read through the various rivers/waterways.
