The Wisconsin walleye limit is different than those in many other states. There are five fish you can keep daily in Wisconsin. This is an increase of five from 2008. The state has increased the bag limit to 10 fish. The new law makes it easier for anglers today to catch more walleyes. The current walleye size limits were lowered from 20 inches to 24 inches.
The new regulations will allow walleye sizes to be increased and bag limits extended to five years. The five-year limit for size will increase to 18 inches, while fish between 22 and 28 inches may be kept. The bag limit would go down 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.
The DNR's new regulations will apply to all lakes in Wisconsin. The minimum size for a walleye is eighteen inches. A walleye can only grow to 28 inches. A fish that is more than 20 inches in length cannot be kept. Anglers will now be permitted to keep one fish per day if this change is made. This will allow the population to rebound while providing only a limited amount of walleye for recreation.
To address dramatic population declines, DNR implemented a five year ban against walleye harvest. DNR carried out surveys this spring to determine that the population had attained its goal of two fish an acre. This was not enough to maintain the goal level. They discovered that fish were not reproducing as quickly as they were supposed to and that there was too much female stock in the pool. While the DNR is considering the new regulations, sentiment is mixed.
Like the fish of the old, the Wisconsin Walleye Limit for Saugers and Other Fish has been altered. A new regulation for fall will increase the size limit for saugers to 27 inches. The minimum size limit for saugers as well as other fish hasn’t been changed. DNR actually has many options for slow-growth and high-density lakes. Some lakes will not allow any fish smaller than 14inches, while others may only allow one fish.
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 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. This change will give fishermen more opportunities to utilize their skills. However, it is not the only one.
FAQ
What type of gear are you going to need for fishing?
A rod, reel line, hooks, line, bait, tackle box and some snacks. You will need to know how to cast, hook up a hook and use a trolling motor to catch fish. Remember to be patient and wait for the right moment before you strike.
