The Wisconsin walleye limit is different than those in many other states. You are still allowed to keep five fish daily statewide, a number that has increased from five in 2008. Additionally, the bag limit has been increased to ten in state waters. But a new law made it easier for anglers to get more walleyes each day than ever before. In addition, the current walleye size limits have been lowered from 20 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 be lowered to one per day. Gregg Walker (executive director of the Minocqua chapter Walleyes for Tomorrow) spoke in support during Monday's public hearing.
The new regulations of the DNR will apply to all Wisconsin lakes. The minimum walleye size is 18 inches. The maximum size for a fish is 28 inches. The maximum size for a fish is 28 inches. However, fish over 20 inches 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 response to the dramatic decline in walleye population, DNR has imposed a five-year ban upon walleye harvest. DNR conducted surveys in spring and discovered that the population had reached its goal at two fish per acre. However, this was not enough for the goal. They discovered that the fish were breeding too slowly, and there were too many females in the pool. The DNR is currently studying the new regulations. But, there is mixed sentiment.
Unlike the fish of the past, the Wisconsin walleye limit for saugers and other fish have been changed. A new regulation, effective in fall, will increase the size limit to saugers up to 27inches. The minimum size limit for saugers as well as other fish hasn’t been changed. DNR offers many alternatives to high-density, slow-growth lakes. Some lakes won't allow fish smaller than 14 inches, while others have a minimum size.
The new Wisconsin walleye cap will be in place for the 2020-21 licence year. This is one the most significant changes to fishing regulations made in a single year for 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. It also gives fishermen more opportunities to use their skills, but it's not the only one.
