You can’t allow a smaller limit than 1. Most lakes in this province not all that long ago had a limit of 1 for Walleye and more recently Pike has also been reduced to 1 in many lakes. The lakes still collapsed. Tags are one way a to allow controlled harvest while allowing lakes to recover and stay sustainable.

a hundred grand to have fish cops hiding in the bushes trying to keep everyone on the straight and narrow never mind implementation of the tag system? How many million did that cost for some tags scribbled with a magic marker that don't stick together plus all the research that justified this system in the first place. ? I would like to see the numbers on the money wasted to protect a fish that does more harm than good and doesn't even belong in many of these lakes in the first place. They need to swallow their pride and call it a total failure instead of continuing to protect a population of fish that aren't reproducing because they don't belong and that's how mother nature rolls, until they die of old age at the expense of the fish that were displaced and by catch victims of the walleye fad.
