Rainy Lake has the same regulations as the proposed Lake of the Woods regulations. Has there been a proven positive change to the fishing on Rainy? If so, why are we not allowed to catch 4 walleye with one being over 18.1? Alternate the regulations so at least one lake can be fished with ease.

I also think the new regulations will have a negative affect on the Rainy River District tourism especially if 2 large bodies of water are restricted for walleye fishing. With COVID restrictions having caused so much financial hardship to the tourism industry, is it really in the District’s best interests to make these changes since the border opened up?
