I began packing the car, and was lacing my boots when my phone rang. I
impatiently answered only to find myself talking to "the man who should
know." It was two hours later, and he was calling me back to tell me that
he did some checking, and it turns out I would need special permits. If he
had waited five more minutes, I would have been at the river getting
(possibly) arrested.
I never trust anything given to me verbally by ODFW employees now.

Ted,
Ray here in Ypsilanti, Mi. After talking to a DNR officer I was told we can
keep
game fish alive but we are limited to the requirements of the Michigan
fishing
license for each species(size/possession limits) The only thing they were
concerned about is that the capture or possession occured during the open
season.
Now, I didn't get the guy's name( I wish I had) so I wouldn't rely on that
statement unless you confirm it yourself.
