Minnesota DNR Sets Winter Walleye Bag Limit on Upper Red Lake
RED LAKE (WJON News) -- The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has set the bag limit for walleye on Upper Red Lake this winter.
There will be a three-walleye bag limit with only one fish over 17 inches.
The fall fisheries assessment on the Red Lakes found the walleye population to be at a healthy and sustainable level with a wide range of fish sizes.
Last winter the bag limit was four fish to reduce the surplus of spawning stock to help promote the success of new year classes.
