House Resolution No. by Representative Mike Johnson urges the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission and the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries to consider modifying the daily limit and size restrictions for crappie fish in the Saline-Larto Complex. This complex, located in east central Louisiana, spans approximately 90,880 acres and serves as a popular site for recreational and commercial fishing, as well as hunting. Recent declines in the crappie fish population have prompted the Rapides Parish Police Jury to advocate for reducing the daily catch limit from fifty to twenty-five crappie and implementing a size limit of ten inches to promote the growth and sustainability of the species.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of maintaining a healthy crappie population in the Saline-Larto Complex and formally requests that the relevant authorities take the concerns of the Rapides Parish Police Jury into account. A copy of the resolution will be sent to the secretary of the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries and the chairman of the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission to ensure that the request is considered.
