Lake of the Woods is an angler's paradise. My husband and I have raised our family here and have enjoyed all the benefits of snowmobiling, hunting, boating and fishing. Now we are enjoying it with our grandchildren. We see no reason for changing the fishing limit for residents. We have found that the fishing has improved over the last few years. Covid and the high water has reduced the pressure on the lake. If anything is detrimental to the fish numbers it is the use of nets that have not been regulated or enforced. Anyone that has spent time on the lake has seen the waste of nets left in too long or forgotten completely. Other option's if a reduction is needed would be to reduce the limit to 3 instead of 2. Do you not worry that people will start keeping other species of fish just to make there fishing experience worth the time and cost of gas? We have a multimillion-dollar tourist destination here with people hunting and fishing for their personal use as well as the fishing tournaments. It would be a shame is people started eating trophy bass.
