Allowing the harvest of all sizes of walleye won’t make a trophy fishery. It will clean them out. You can’t make big fish by killing them before they get big. Get ‘em while you can, folks. There won’t be many left next year. And don’t count on stocking to keep up with demand in the future. Even if they started stocking this year, it will be years before the fry are big enough to make a fishery. I’m going to bet the survey results will show most were in favour of getting rid of the walleye in Sylvan now and trying to make it put and take. Trophy fishery is unrealistic. Too much pressure.
