I agree with lowering the limit. My wife and I eat lots of walleye for dinner and have never needed more than 2 walleye (4 filets). I am 38 and my wife is 33 with big appetites and we still usually have some left over for lunch.
It seems like the walleye spawn is happening later too and I’ve caught lots of fish spawning or about to spawn. Even though I release the fish back there are lots of people that don’t. As much as it pains me to say, it may be Beneficial to move the opening of the season back a few weeks to make sure the walleye are finished spawning.
Also over the past few years I have found nets that are not tended too and lots of fish get wasted when commercial fishing isn’t done right. Not sure if it can be done. With their treaty rights but maybe some sort of identifying number on a net to hold people accountable for leaving Nets in and not checking them regularity.
