If I have to pick an option…

If I have to pick an option it would be option 2. However I don’t understand why the MNRF can’t just implement the same regulation on the lake of the woods as has been utilized for many years on the Winnipeg river system. It is basically the same fisheries. I feel the the regulation has been quite effective on the river system. Implementing the 35-45 cm slot with no fish over 45cm allowed would meet the demands. The whole idea of allowing any trophy fish to harvested is ludicrous even if they are not considered to be spawning age fish.
If the reduction of the walleye populations are to be restricted, we should be looking closer at monitoring wasteful commercial fishing practices of those permitted to do so. Many have seen the inappropriate practices and wasteful harvesting activities of commercial fish operations around many of the local area fisheries.
