2011 walleye limits?

[DWW]

Anyone know what the 2011 walleye size and bag limit on the flowage for 2011 is going to be? Heard a rumor that they may change it this year?

[Ty Sennett]

I was also wondering the same thing. Not sure where to find out.

I would suspect that even with the other management type of things going on regarding the flowage, that they may not make any kind of decision until the Native American Tribes declare which should be soon.

Not sure how many people may have seen this or not, so I thought I'd go ahead and post it:

Hi Ty,

Hope you don't mind me answering DWW's question. As the article states, the bag will be 2 unless the tribes harvest less than their declaration. Than it can be adjusted up. But that wouldn't happen until Memorial day. Their will NOT be a size limit this year according to Dave Nueswanger of the DNR. In a phone conversation I had with him, he said something about the heads in Madison and he do not agree which way to go on a size limit, so they did what they are good at, NOTHING. I'm still hopimg that they come to their senses and realize that a problem exists and to stop bickering like children. Oh, Dave Nueswanger did say he is promoting that people do a voluntary release of Walleyes under 15". Like that's going to happen!

Tom...I think you underestimate a lot of your fishing buddies. My brothers and I actually do not keep them unless they are at least 15", and release them if they are over 22". In fact, a good friend and guide of ours has adopted this philosophy as well. It hasn't even affected his business, and I know that when we go with him, he's to the point of "just another dink boys...back you go little guy!" There really isn't enough meat on a 14"er to even try to fillet them out. You want them that small, go catch perch! Just sayin. Happy Easter everyone!
