This theme shows state designated trout streams and tributaries as per Minnesota Rules (6264.0050). Coding has been completed statewide; however, there may be periodic designation changes made during the annual rule revision process. The authoritative source of designated trout streams and tributaries remains Minnesota Rules Chapter 6264 (not this GIS layer). Refer to: http://www.revisor.leg.state.mn.us/arule/6264/0050.html for the official listing of designated trout waters (lakes and streams). Users of trout stream information should be aware that the trout_flag code does not fully describe the extent of protected watercourses with regard to trout habitat and associated state restrictions. |
