Set the slot accordingly combined with an appropriate limit and you will always have fish that make it through and become breeders. The larger females also produce a larger number of eggs
It works even in states that have higher pressure than Alberta do to a much higher population
A tight slot is already being used for walleye in some Alberta lakes. Buck is the only one I personally fish and the slot is working with plenty of over and under walleye being caught
The is not a new untested management tool and there is a reason there is a big shift towards this direction in other provinces and states. There is plenty of waters that see high pressure throughout North America.
But this horse has been beat to death if you wish to have an open mind do your research and broaden where you get your information beyond Alberta. Your choice I am not going to try to change your opinion with anymore debate on it
