"Any "regulation" is simply man made manipulation of the population dynamics according to whatever agenda is being pushed at the time, not a necessary requirement for the long term health of a fish population. Nature will sort that out just fine on it's own."
^^ I completely agree with the above statement. What I don't agree with on this particular forum topic is that a walleye fishery can't be supported if there is a slot size limit, or a "3 under, 1 over" rule.......... or fish cannot be kept in a certain slot size. I'm from N. Ontario, and while every lake and fishery is different, we have various manipulations of the same reg.... 3-4 fish, with varying slot sizes and minimums. And our fishery is doing just fine... while CVR sounds like an insane fishing hole, you think a "1 under, 1 over" or one of the two would sufficiently damage the fishing? I tend to think not.
