Probably two reasons. One being that if there were was ever a backlash to the change and the survey supported the decision to remove walleye then they could say that anglers agreed with the changes prior to being made.
Second reason was probably just to gauge what people thought about the change.
Most likely the change was already planned although they didn't make all the changes proposed in those most recent surveys so maybe they did take them into account.
