What a Sh***Y event

Huh? I’m all for balance of all species in the lake, but Bass and walleyes are apples and oranges. Bass are not sought out for their table fair. Secondly, the lake has been basically a catch & release fishery for walleyes for the last four years. 2012 was the last year you could keep a limit of four and they had to be under 17″. A couple subsequent years had a 2″ slot in which fish of that size were a very very small percentage of the population. Catch & release walleye fishing is as strong as ever, but walleyes are highly prized for consumption. Managing the population to supply consumable fish and maintaining the breeding stock is a challenge. It seems that management doesn’t have that figured out yet.

Stop using logic and common sense when people are trying to deflect how poorly the lake has been managed by the Indians and DNR for what it is supposed to be, a great walleye lake.

Sure they do Ret-ro!!

The DNR got exactly what they Managed for.

They managed the lake for a Trophy Walleye fishery, and they ended up with a lake full of Big Fish that no one can take due to the slots imposed.

I personally find their “we don’t know how this happened” nothing other than pure Horse Pucky.

I can’t tell if this is satire or ignorance, which means that if it IS satire, it is well executed!
