This proposal should be…

This proposal should be placed on immediate hold until research design and data is allowed to be analyzed by a third party and by the public with added exploration to damages to the regional communities by way of economic pressures. The proposal includes scattered and dated research claims with no specific metric comparisons to the references supplied nor data to prove that the lake is in any way threatened for Walleye population. The further claim that climate change and crayfish are threats to the population has no basis. If the fishery is threated, and I don't see data to confirm this, then the methods suggested to preserve biomass is biased toward cutting the limit in half and there is no suggestion nor research to maintaining a strict upper limit, nor eliminating indiscriminate gillnetting and moving to trap netting for commercial fishing, nor eliminating commercial fishing altogether. Placing the proposal with a Jan 9 cut-off across the December season has limited the public's review and access and the proposal needs to be suspended until a proper review is allowed and ensured.
