Punishing/Targeting Local Anglers / Canadian Residents and reducing our limits from 4 to 2 doesn't make sense. Especially when you can keep 4 walleyes everywhere else in FMZ 4 and FMZ 5 specifically inland lakes and the Winnipeg River.
The slot on the Winnipeg River and Rainy Lake has had positive effects. Implement the slot but not the changes to the daily limits for Canadian Anglers. See how the slot works first. Do this in a thoughtful and gradual approach as opposed to hitting Ontario/Canadian residents during the worst time - right after covid and with inflation at an all time high.
If you're going to reduce my limit from 4 to 2 - then I want a fishing license at 50 % of the cost.
Reducing the Daily limit from 4 to 2 fish will shift local anglers to fishing on other waterbodies like the Winnipeg River and inland lakes where they can keep 2x the lake of the Woods Limit. That's a poor way of doing business, sacrifice other waterbodies to "save" another. Be consistent in your approach.
