Wisconsin Walleye Limits Increase On Northern Lakes

[tubeN2]

MADISON, WI--The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) recently announced that daily walleye bag limits have increased on 93 lakes in the Ceded Territory of northern Wisconsin. Officials made the change to reflect spearing harvest results by the state's band of Chippewa Indians. Forty-three Wisconsin lakes have increased from a daily bag limit of one or two walleyes per day to three. Another 50 lakes have gone from an initial bag limit of two or three walleyes per day to the bag limit specified in the Guide to Wisconsin Hook and Line Fishing Regulations 2004-05, which typically is five. Wisconsin's complete revised walleye regulations are available at DNR license vendors across the state, or visit the state's website: [url "http://www.dnr.state.wi.us/org/water/fhp/fish/regulations/2004/documents/cededbaglimits04.pdf"][#0000ff]http://www.dnr.state.wi.us[/#0000ff][/url].
