Wakina, Eyecrazy - agreed! Regardless of the data they throw at us (which we know will keep changing for the next two years...) I cannot, nor can I find anyone else who remembers catching the numbers of shorts we are seeing this year. The 3 and 4 inch walleye we're getting perch fishing, and the 8-10 walleye we've seen trolling, we are getting in huge numbers! I had one trip where we went through 150+ 8 inch walleye to put a limit of keepers in the box. And these small fish are everywhere!

I also don't expect to see a change in the limits - nor do I want to! The lake is nowhere near back to it's prime! Even though the better than average hatches we've seen will help us catch limits, I hope we can all agree that protecting our resource more important right now. Just my two cents.....
