[font "Arial"][size 3] [left]Questions & Answers:[/left] [left]1. Can I launch my boat in Michigan and fish walleye in Ohio or Ontario in April and May….and bring my catch back into[/left] [left]Michigan?[/left][/size][/font][font "Arial"][size 3] [left]Answer> Yes! As long as when you return through Michigan waters you do not drop lines and fish. You must also have the[/left] [left]appropriate Ohio or Ontario fishing license.[/left][/size][/font][font "Arial"][size 3] [left]2. Why not close the walleye season in the Detroit River in April and May?[/left][/size][/font][font "Arial"][size 3] [left]Answer> Because there are enough adult walleye to continue to have a fishery in those waters at this time. It LOOKS like a lot –[/left] [left]but only a small fraction of the adult walleye in the Detroit River are caught each spring (from 1% to 3% of the population). The[/left] [left]walleye within the bounds of Lake Erie are managed by international agreement and reductions in harvest are proportional with[/left] [left]Ohio and Ontario (recreation AND commercial fisheries combined). Each state or province can only harvest a portion of the[/left] [left]walleye population – based on jurisdictional surface area of water.[/left][/size][/font][font "Arial"][size 3] [left]3. Where do most of the walleye in the Detroit River and Lake Erie come from?[/left][/size][/font][font "Arial"][size 3] [left]Answer> The vast majority of walleye spawning for the whole system occurs in the Maumee River and on reefs in western Lake[/left]
