HI There
I am excited to see changes to protect the Walleye on Lake of the Woods but more now then ever we need to be able to take pictures of our catches no matter what size or species. The regulation that says a fish must be released immediately needs to be changed to allow a quick picture. If this could be amended at the same time as the other regulation change that would be amazing.
There is the Ladies Walleye Tournaments that is Catch, record and release and the new regulations are going to hurt it. Allowing the picture change can keep the LOTWWWT it alive but can only encourage conservation buy encouraging other tournaments to go the same way.
Beside, taking a child or grandchild out and having to release a big fish with out getting a picture is just sad :(
Please share with the Minister of Natural Resources Graydon Smith & Minister Greg Rickford
Thank you
