My opinion on this proposal…

My opinion on this proposal is that it would drastically challenge the businesses in the tourism industry on lake of the woods. Maybe a size restriction would be best suited.
If we had a 4 fish limit with a 13.5"-17.5" rule with no bigger that 17.5" that could possibly work over time without drastically impacting the tourism industry.
I myself fish lake of the woods and don't have any trouble get fish. Most of the time I don't take more than 3. And always keep 13.5"- 17.5".
Winnipeg river has had a similar size restriction on it and has been doing great. The fishery has improved over the last 5 years.
Given what we know about the Winnipeg River I would rather see lake of the woods follow suit in that direction.
Also lower limits for non-residents with same size restriction.
Thanks you for your time and I hope my input helps.
