REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Article 66C, section 207 of the Code.
Nomenclatural changes reflect chapter 348,
Acts of 1972. The open season dates listed
in the right hand column are proposed for
deletion as unnecessary. Each date listed
is for the entire year and the section
already provides for the department to set
season dates within the whole year. The
list of type of fish is retained however,
because the authority of the section only
applies to them. The only other changes
made are in style.
