Walleye anglers face another year of catch-and-release fishing on Mille Lacs Lake.

Ice anglers will again be able to keep one walleye on Lake Mille Lacs again this winter season.

Anglers have surpassed the walleye quota on Mille Lacs Lake, but fisheries managers are keeping the season open anyway.

A Minnesota tradition returns at 12:01 a.m. Saturday...the fishing opener. The Minnesota DNR estimates that as many as 500,000 anglers will fish on opening day statewide.

Fisheries managers have changed course and decided to allow live bait on Mille Lacs Lake this season after all. The Department of Natural Resources had planned to bar most anglers from using live bait as part of a package of restrictions aimed at reviving the popular lake's struggling walleye population.

The Minnesota DNR has announced the 2016 Lake Mille Lacs fishing regulations. Mille Lacs will have a "catch-and-release" walleye season, meaning there will be no walleye allowed from May 14th through December 1st.

The Department of Natural Resources has named 17 people to its new Mille Lacs Fisheries Advisory Committee and a new point person for the agency's efforts to revive the popular lake's struggling walleye population.

Minnesota's wildlife officials are making sweeping changes at Mille Lacs Lake to restore trust with locals after shutting down the lake's walleye fishing season.

The Department of Natural Resources is closing Mille Lacs Lake for walleye fishing at 10 p.m. on Monday.

One business on Mille Lacs Lake is unhappy about new state rules requiring walleye anglers to get off the lake by 10 p.m.
