Title: Federal VHS Order Revised to Allow Tournaments to Cross Borders
Post by: djkimmel on May 05, 2007, 08:08:07 PM
Check out the updates for further information on the revision of the federal order allowing tournaments to now move live fish that will be released across international and interstate areas within the infected areas on the GreatLakesBass.com VHS (http://www.greatlakesbass.com/conservation/vhs.html) or MichiganTBF.com VHS (http://www.michigantbf.com/conservation/vhs.html) Pages.

BASS, FLW Outdoors, the MDNR and TBF, along with a number of individual anglers, all played important roles in getting a resolution to our issue in time for much of the Northern seasons. I'm pretty impressed that APHIS would help us in this way by revising the order again prior to issuing an interim rule later this year.
