I am a participant in the women’s walleye tournament. With the proposed new rules the tournament will no longer be. I am neither for the reduction in limit to 2 fish or not being able to photograph a fish prior to release. Especially when the limit on the us side will remain at 6, on the same body of water. Not to mention the effect this reduction will have on tourism, the camps that are just starting to come back from the covid affects. As a participant of the only women’s walleye tournament in NWO, this proposed rule will kill the tournament. We as locals care about our prized walleye and make every effort to protect them. I don’t believe that taking a photo of the fish prior to releasing will in anyway adversely affect the fish population. Please reconsider this rule.
