March 27, 2020 — Maine’s elver fishing season is back on.
The Department of Marine Resources made the announcement Thursday night that fishermen could cast their nets next Monday, starting at 8 in the morning.
The department initially shut down the season Sunday – for a minimum of two weeks.
But, now officials have put some safety protocols into place to open up sooner.
Licensed elver harvesters may fish for and sell the quota of another licensed harvester.
