There is no doubt the guides have put long hours and days in to gain the knowledge they have and thus are able to have better success than the average fisherman. This being said rarely if ever do I read of them keeping the important breeding stock females. On the other hand the spear seems to target the very source of the FFL that being the prime reproducing females. Without these females you can shut the lake down indefinitely and struggle to bring it back to past years. The other group which has no care about the sex of the walleye are the musky which have flooded the TFF as a fish to catch but heaven forbid harvest. If we want to see a better TFF we need to stop the later 2 from continuing on the path they are on.
