And yes there are other spawning areas.
I dont have a problem protecting the fish if they need it. And Im not convinced that they need the protection some on here are suggesting.
I have been around awhile, both in tournaments and recreational fishing. Fishing in the spring does impact the fishing but show me some evidence that they are in trouble or even heading for trouble.

So because you were not able to devastate the walleye in the west arm that means it ok to continue that is the most ridicules point that has been make on this thread yet. The way you look at things that means we don't need to protect any areas until we have already caused "HORRIFIC DAMAGE"your words. I'm sure glad you are not the person managing the fishery......
