Migratory birds, such as ducks, geese, rails and

trout over ten inches in length, and the bag limit is 
fifty in any one day or not more than fifty pounds in 
any one day. In Game District No. 2, winter fishing 
is permitted for trout over eighteen inches in length,

will be of material benefit to the sportsmen and will
