Walsworth (SB 369) Act No. 389
Prior law set a 50 fish possession limit for crappie on state waters and also provided a 100
fish possession limit for crappie on Lake D'Arbonne.
New law changes the limit from 100 to 50 on Lake D'Arbonne.
New law authorizes the Wildlife and Fisheries Commission to amend by rule the possession
limit for crappie on Lake D'Arbonne but only after the Dept. of Wildlife and Fisheries
conducts sampling and data analysis that demonstrate that the fisheries resource is being
negatively impacted and the department recommends to the commission that the possession
limit be changed.
New law repeals the provision of the La. Administrative Code that caps the daily take of
crappie on Lake D'Arbonne at 25 fish per person.
Effective August 1, 2014.
