This reduction in limits on lake of the woods is ridiculous. I agree a slot size should be imposed, however the average family that uses the lake and would like to consume fish simply can’t acquire enough for a daily meal by this methodology. Rather than penalize patrons of the water body, how about some enforcement for the irresponsible indigenous netting that is going on in the lake? Floating nets with 100s of dead walleyes are common in recent years. This is more impactful to the water body than sportfishing.

If Ontario schedules a change to the regulation, then limits must also be reduced for Manitoba residents as well as Minnesota residents. Crippling tourist camps and chasing away commerce by reducing limits isn’t the answer.
