The Wisconsin walleye limit differs from other states. You are still allowed to keep five fish daily statewide, a number that has increased from five in 2008. A new law has raised the bag limit to ten for state waters. Anglers now have more opportunities to catch walleyes per day thanks to a new law. A new law also lowers the walleye size limit from 20 to 24, which was previously 20 inches.
The new regulations will allow walleye sizes to be increased and bag limits extended to five years. The size limit will increase to 18 inches during the five-year period. Fish 22 to 28 inches can be kept. The daily bag limit would be reduced to one. Gregg Walker from the Minocqua chapter Walleyes for Tomorrow spoke out in support of Monday's new regulation.
The new regulations of the DNR will apply to all Wisconsin lakes. A walleye must be at least eighteen inches in size. A walleye can only grow to 28 inches. If the fish is larger than 28 inches, it cannot be kept. If this change is implemented, anglers will be allowed to keep only one fish a day. This will allow the population of walleye to rebound, while also providing a limited supply for recreation.
The DNR imposed a five-year ban on walleye harvest in response to dramatic population declines. This spring, surveys by the DNR revealed that the population had exceeded its goal of two fish per annum. However, this was not enough for the goal. They discovered that the fish were not spawning at the right rate and that there were too few females in the swimming pool. While the DNR is considering the new regulations, sentiment is mixed.
Like the fish of old, the Wisconsin walleye limit is now for saugers. A new regulation that took effect in the fall will allow saugers to grow up to 27 inches. The minimum size of saugers and other fish have not yet been increased. In fact, the DNR has several alternatives for high-density and slow-growth lakes. Some lakes have no minimum size while others allow one fish greater than 14 inches.
The new Wisconsin Walleye Limit will go into effect on Wednesday, February 21, 2020-21. It is the largest change to fishing regulations in one year in many decades. The new regulation allows anglers legal to target bass all year long, even after the regular harvest seasons are over. This change will likely increase the number and quality of club outings for bass fishing in the state. The change also offers fishermen more opportunities for their skills. But it's not only one.
