I lived in Sioux Lookout for 16 years and watched the fish management of Lac Seul

Sport License

A slot size 45cm - 53
No live fish in live wells or stringers

This has worked well evidenced by a thriving fishery for years

Your proposal for lake of the woods has several limiting factors

#1 cost prohibitive recreation fishing my average trip costs $50 - 65 for 2 fish

#2 People will sort out thier fish to get as large as possible to feed thier family
This will result in smaller ones sitting in warm live wells thrown back injured

#3 I have heard cottage owners wii catch 2 take them home & go catch the other 2 as possession limit is 4

The real problem is not recreation anglers trying to feed thier families it is other factors you have cited
USA residents
Indigenous Fishing
Commercial Fishing

I am afraid your current proposal will not achieve the results you are looking for

Solution Leave the limit as is introduce slot size & no live fish on board

PS I fish 100 hours per year on LOTW and have no trouble catching my limit
