I have enjoyed fishing…

I have enjoyed fishing recreationally on Lake of the Woods for 53 years.
I hear what the Ministry is saying about the concern of the walleye stocks being stressed. I find this hard to believe as the last 3 years have been low fishing harvesting because of border closures and pandemic. But having said that, if If in fact we have a concern, then yes adjustments might be prudent in ALL harvesting areas.
I would hope the Ministry would consider the slot size regulation that has been on the Winnipeg River for years now with great success instead of 2 fish per day limit per person and 4 in possession you are proposing.
The slot size has really brought back the population on the Winnipeg River very well.
This way, the regulations would be the same on both water bodies.
Also, the Ministry needs to consider an adjustment to the harvesting by netting by limiting the take on this also. It’s not right where recreational fishing are restricted but netting harvests are not affected. This would help the stocks of walleye tremendously.

To summarize:

Go to the same slot sizes and limits like the Winnipeg River and adjust the netting take program.
