In order to monitor the shared fish stock on this water way, a technical board on fisheries got formed in the year 1989. Their mandate ranged from formulation of protection measures, determination of population of the fishes, coming up with future action plans and development of consistent assessment of fisheries. The two states that border the waterway adopted the red river catfish guide.
One of the recommendations proposed was a unique regulation that was to protect the fish population from over harvesting. The limit of catfish that were to be possessed was set at a maximum of five and only one was to be more than twenty four inches. The regulation was made in reference to the North Dakota 1990 and Minnesota 1991 proposals.
So as to make determination of the populations of the bigger catfishes in this water course, a series of estimation of the populations was done. The sampling procedures were intensely conducted partly to evaluate impacts on 1990 regulations of channel catfish and the other part was set to determine the fish population on the waterway and the populations size structure of the catfishes in Red River.
In an aim to check harvesting rates, usage by residents and non-residents alike, location and season fishing usually occurs among others, an anglers survey got carried on by both states based on the waterway. The two states undertook creels for about four months at summer and again during open water months. This was done to get to know on the impact which was as a result of experimental spring fishing.
The process of making evaluation on impacts from opening the river to public fishing started in the springs of 1998. Before this, the watercourse was closed in an aim to prevent over harvesting of certain fish species. From 2000 to 2004, spring fishing included a series of limitations on sizes and possessions so as to check on the numbers being harvested. The regulations were to be enforced by conservations officials from the two states.
From the data which had been obtained from the survey that had been conducted, the obstructive limits during springs and the high liberal limits which were put in place for the remaining year showed no significant or completely no bearing on the populations. The department of games and fishes of North Dakota made an all seasonal daily proposal and possession limit. This new regulation had to be evaluated to monitor whether the aims and objectives were being met.
The Minnesota DNR in conjunction with the North Dakota games and fish unit carried out a routine sampling on Red River for time duration of 1995 to 2001. Determination of population of the fishes, the number structure and sizes of different species and serve in developing of trends that would monitor the catfish population changes were the major aim of this project.
The committee has initiated steps aimed to standardize procedures on Red Water Course with an aim of making fishing to be very user friendly. The regulations are to be grounded on biology that is logical, must be enforceable and should be assessed to ensure that fishing becomes better and enjoyable.
