The normal guys going out and catching a limit is not the problem for lotw!!! Why shame on us?? Get rid of them damn privileges for nets that catch hundreds at a time never mind the countless ones that I have found full of dead rotten fish… WE ARE NOT THE PROBLEM
Absolutely not. Constantly throwing more restrictions on hunting and fishing that all of us anglers/hunters are expected to remember and when we don’t we are hit with a fine and thrown into the news .

I do not agree with the proposed changes. I have been fishing on Lake of the Woods by the entire life. The fishing has not declined. Leave the limits alone. We feed our family with these fish in a traditional way. It is our way of life and our land.

This reduction in limits on lake of the woods is ridiculous. I agree a slot size should be imposed, however the average family that uses the lake and would like to consume fish simply can’t acquire enough for a daily meal by this methodology.

Hey
I think the proposal is dumb.
1- limits are 6 across the boarder(same lake)
2-netting ( a lot of illegal nets )
3- fishing the last few years with covid had alot less traffic because of lock ups and tourist camps closed

The issue is not the normal fisherman or weekend fisherman. Lake pf the woods problem is netting that takes place. Many people have found abandoned nets or piles of wasted fish on shore from the nets.

I have no problem with only being able to harvest 2 walleyes on lake of the woods. The only concern i have with the limits is that the americans should have to follow suit. from my understanding the limit on the american side of lake of the woods is 6 walleyes.

This is not a welcomed idea at all. If we are going to bring in a better slot limit, then eliminate the possession of anything bigger than 21”.
If someone wants a trophy, then make it this way, no fish between 21-30” to be kept.

I totally disagree with the proposal you are thinking for implementing. It is time you address the problem and quit hiding behind the elephant on the lake.

I totally agree that walleye populations have been declining significantly. Believe it or not I feel as though covid was a very good thing for lake of the woods. I believe that option 2 is better for a more restricted slot size.

Myself and my female family members compete in the Lake of the woods walleye tournament every year. We need to be able to take pictures of the fish we catch and RELEASE. We are not keeping these fish for any amount of time unnecessarily.

Canadian side of lake of the woods does not need the change, the American side does, how is it that myself, as a Canadian, can catch and only retain 2 walleye, yet I can boat across to the American side and catch + retain six walleye, does not make sense.

I take part in the annual Lake of the woods women’s walleye tournament and with this new regulation we would not be able to take photos of some of the larger fish we catch and release. Please consider this
Thank you
I have to strongly DISAGREE with the proposed changes to the lake of the woods walleye limits, I believe there are many issues with this change and it can be managed in a better way.
