Host Trey Reid talks with Arkansas Game and Fish Commission Deputy Director Ben Batten about new regulations passed at the April commission meeting that take effect July 1, aligning fishing and wildlife regulation start dates and guidebook releases. They highlight the expansion of ?blue ribbon? smallmouth bass streams from 2 to 10, with a one-over-15-inch smallmouth limit. They also discuss eliminating fish possession limits to simplify rules, clarifying how guides can transfer legally harvested fish to clients with documentation, and allowing bowfishing-style alligator harvest on private land. The episode covers lake renovation-related harvest changes at places like Wilhelmina, Poinsett, and Monticello, and provides an update on Lake Conway construction progress.
