I have read the proposed reductions to the fish limits on Lake of the Woods and I have no problem with the changes although I am a bit surprised as I have fished the lake for 70 years+ and the fishing still seems pretty good. My concern however is what the impact of the reduction will be on smaller lakes in the Kenora area. I own a cabin on a smaller lake in close proximity to Kenora and with road access. Fishing on the lake is not nearly as good as the LOW but thankfully most cabin owners on the lake are pretty conscious of the negative impact of overfishing and fish conservatively. I think if you are going to reduce limits on the LOW, you should do the same for all lakes in the area., otherwise there could be overfishing of the small lakes together with increased boat traffic and pollution. I hope you will take this into consideration.
