NPS Position on VHS and Bait in Lake Superior

j0178444
Please see attached the final reports regarding VHS and use of bait in the national park service for Lake Superior. The Sleeping Bear Dunes is also now engaged in the process and may be using these documents as well. The first document is big and is the final report for the committee. The other two are news released about implimentation of the rule in Pictured Rocks. We have not yet heard from Isle Royale NP on what they want to do but suspect that they will request a "no bait" regulation there as well. It turns out that the authority for each park is different and depends on the enabling legislation that created the park. Call me if you want to discuss further or have questions.
