The Wisconsin walleye limit may be different from those in other states. Five fish are allowed daily in Wisconsin, up from five in 2008. The state has increased the bag limit to 10 fish. But a new law made it easier for anglers to get more walleyes each day than ever before. Additionally, the current walleye limit has been decreased from 20 to 24-inch.
New regulations will limit walleye size and bag limitations to five years. During the five-year period, the size limit will be raised to 18 inches, while fish 22 to 28 inches may be kept. The bag limit would drop to one per day. Gregg Walker, executive Director of the Minocqua Chapter of Walleyes for Tomorrow spoke in support of the new regulation during a Monday public hearing.
All Wisconsin lakes will be affected by the DNR's new regulations. Eighteen inches is the minimum size that a walleye can reach. A walleye can only grow to 28 inches. The maximum size for a fish is 28 inches. However, fish over 20 inches cannot be kept. The change will mean that anglers can only keep one fish per person. This will allow the population of walleye to rebound, while also providing a limited supply for recreation.
In response to rapid population declines, the DNR placed a five year ban on walleye harvest. The DNR did surveys this spring and found that the population had reached its goal of two fish per acre. But this was not enough to sustain the goal level. 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. The fall regulation will raise the limit on the size of saugers from twenty-seven inches to 27 inches. However, the minimum size limit for saugers and other fish has not been altered. DNR has several options available for lakes that are high-density or slow-growing. Some lakes will have no minimum size, while others will allow only one fish larger than 14 inches.
The new Wisconsin walleye cap will be in place for the 2020-21 licence year. This represents the biggest change in fishing regulations in a single calendar year in decades. The new regulation permits anglers to legally pursue bass throughout the year, even after the harvest season has ended. The new regulation is expected to increase the number tournaments and club outings that are available for bass. The change also offers fishermen more opportunities for their skills. But it's not only one.
