## Abstract

The National Park Service (NPS) is removing the current regulations concerning boating, fishing and limit of catch in Lassen Volcanic National Park. With this deletion, the park will allow for catch and release fishing only, using a barbless hook, when fishing at Manzanita Lake. The existing regulation allows for the taking of native fish species (rainbow trout) in this small fishery. The taking of the native species has and would continue to adversely affect native species composition if allowed to continue. The NPS intends to maintain and, where necessary, restore the aquatic ecosystem to a natural state while allowing recreational fishing to continue at levels that allow natural processes to continue. The park will continue to manage boating, a restricted fishing season, closed waters, limits of catch and the catch and release program through the Superintendent's Compendium.
