The Wisconsin walleye limit is different than those in many other states. Five fish are allowed daily in Wisconsin, up from five in 2008. The bag limit in the state's waters has also increased to ten. A new law has made it easier than ever for anglers and allowed them to catch more walleyes every day. Additionally, the current walleye limit has been decreased from 20 to 24-inch.
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. During a public hearing held Monday, Gregg Walker, executive director of the Minocqua chapter of the organization Walleyes for Tomorrow, spoke in favor of the new regulation.
The DNR's new regulations will apply to all lakes in Wisconsin. Eighteen inches is the minimum size that a walleye can reach. A fish's maximum size is 28 inches. A fish that is more than 20 inches in length cannot be kept. If this change becomes effective, anglers are now allowed to keep one fish per hour. This will allow the population growth to continue while still providing walleye recreational fishing.
As a result of dramatic population declines the DNR put a ban on walleye fishing for five years. DNR carried out surveys this spring to determine that the population had attained its goal of two fish an acre. The goal was not met. They found that the fish were not breeding as fast as they should and there was too many females in their 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 in the fall will increase the size limit of saugers to twenty-seven inches. The minimum size limit for saugers as well as other fish hasn’t been changed. The DNR offers several options for lakes with high density and slow growth. Some lakes will have no minimum size, while others will allow only one fish larger than 14 inches.
The new Wisconsin Walleye Limit will go into effect on Wednesday, February 21, 2020-21. This represents the biggest change in fishing regulations in a single calendar year in decades. The new regulation allows anglers the legal right to pursue bass all year round, even after regular harvest seasons have ended. The new regulation is expected to increase the number tournaments and club outings that are available for bass. It also gives fishermen more opportunities to use their skills, but it's not the only one.
