Removing a tremendous number of walleye primarily by snagging is not creating opportunity, but a breakdown..
While it is possible they may not sucessfully spawn due to silt/sediment where they are caught/snagged, they are a valid part of the overall population that can be legally pursued in the main body of the lake.
Being a highly prized game fish it is a shame to see them harvested via being impaled in the body.
As far as low harvests of walleye? Where is that data? Could not believe the numbers of walleye being taken from the lake last year and at the fish cleaning stations.
If more harvest is desired, why not increase the limit to 7-8 fish instead of slaughter of spawning fish?
