Lake Mille Lacs, Minnesota

Bad news for walleye fishermen in Minnesota!

Every year on this site during the Lake Erie walleye spawn there is reference to the way a slot limit and in some cases total closure of fishing for walleye would benefit lake Erie Walleye production (it has not happened yet but would have) so I posted this as Lake Mille Lacs has had a slot limit in place as far back as I can remember and a closed season during the spawn. Before the closure this was the regulation, found here in a copy and paste from the 2017 Minnesota DNR web page. The majority of the posters on this site have argued against a slot limit for the very reasons found in the links that have been provided.

Walleye: All less than 19" or greater than 21" must be immediately released, except one over 28" allowed in possession. Possession limit one.

Here is the link to the web page.

Here is more important information concerning the management of the lake and the scientific reasons for the decline.

I would hate for them to put some of those goofy limits on lake erie
