Personally this is something I would not have problem with, let the population get stronger again. Any thoughts on this matter? Why or why not? Just ideas thanks
You just proposed something that I had rolling around in my head. I think that a 2-inch to 4-inch slot limit starting at 20 inches would be a great idea. Any walleye from 20-22 or 20-24 would be off-limits. Would be the smartest thing to do. Why wait til the whole thing (fishery) goes to hell and then do something about it? A small slot limit now could prevent a huge one later down the road.
