The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has announced the 1999 dates for the start of the whitefish-tullibee sport-netting season. As in past years, Schedule I lakes will be opened and closed on a 48-hour notice posted at lake accesses and other public places. These lakes are opened based on weather conditions that affect the vulnerability of game fish to accidental harvest and presence of whitefish or tullibees in shallow water. Upper Red Lake, Beltrami County will not be opened to whitefish-tullibee netting in 1999. Schedule II lakes will be opened and closed as follows: Schedule A lakes will be open from Friday, Oct. 8, through Sunday, Dec. 5; Schedule B lakes will be open from Friday, Nov. 5, through Sunday, Dec. 12; and Schedule C lakes will be open from Friday, Nov. 12, through Sunday Dec. 12. Individuals can obtain a copy of the 1999 whitefish-tullibee regulations by calling the DNR Information Center toll free 1-888-MINNDNR in greater Minnesota or (651) 296-6157 in the Twin Cities metro area. Information is also available on the Fishing Page of the DNR web site at www.dnr.state.mn.us/fishing.html
