It is very disappointing…

It is very disappointing that these are the only options provided. Thier should still be an option for local residents to have a higher catch as local anglers should not to be reduced so significantly and subsidize their catch and activities that are done responsibly for a few tourism operators who for decades have been very open on how they have ignored the catch and possession limits for their guest which contributed to where we are. Thier should still be a resident option.

In addition, why is there no mention of eliminating Walleye tournaments, this should be addressed as well. It is well proven the damage and mortality they cause yet they are allowed continue. Lastly should be mention of netting and increased protection of spawning areas from netting as this activity directly contributes to the reduced numbers and any potential to rebound as spawning areas are continually damaged. This plan is not fulsome and ignores some larger mortality contributors and puts almost all of the reduction and penalty on residents regardless if they come from US for a weekend and spend minimal money in town or the local residents who support the local businesses and tax base more than operators with minimal LUP fees and are. The plan seems more political than science based
