I have had a camp on Black Bay, just south of Bent Island, since 2019. During the summer months (June through August), my family and I typically fish for walleye once a week, with the exception of a few weeks during mayfly season when the fish are not biting. Read more

I’ve had a camp on black bay for 6 years and never take more than we need as a family of 4. We often fish out front our camp for walleye and on the odd occasion caught smaller fish. So we are clear when I say smaller fish I mean 20 plus inches. Read more

We live on Black Bay and yes we strongly agree there should be controls on the number and size of walleye that should be caught. There are a lot of larger walleye but we notice not as many smaller ones in that 16-20 inch size . Yes please save the fishery and let the mature fish reproduce . Read more

Being an avid angler of black bay and it's tributaries i have noticed a substantial drop in the numbers of brook and rainbow trout that use the tributaries for spawning in the spring and fall. I was told that the perch and walleye are eating all the fry when they start to head back to the lake. Read more

ERO # 025-0263 Overall, I think this document is lacking in detail and necessary information (data) to support the regulatory changes presented. Many of the figures are far too complicated for the intended audience of this document. My specific comments are below. Read more

I have been fishing the eastern shore of rivers going into Lake Superior for 40 years. Rivers such as The Wolf River, Jackpine River, Cypress River, and many more. The decline in the various species of sports fish has been very noticeable, especially rainbow, salmon and speckled trout. Read more

I would like to know what information (data) was used to determine the walleye harvestable slot size. I see nothing in the draft plan. For me, this regulation is very restrictive, especially since I only fish the south end of the bay and rarely catch walleye less than 20”. Read more
