It gets very frustrating as it seems to be alot of uncertainty in the management. With Slave in particular, they went from a limit of 3 to a slot size to a limit of 1 than a limit of 3 and now i think it's 1 in summer and 2 in winter. All in a matter of 5 years, just seems like the people in charge have no plan in place. One thing is for certain, about 6-7years ago on Slave walleye tourny usually big fish of the day was 9- 10 lbs and it's been going down every year. This years big fish was just over 5lbs. If this trend continues can the fishery survive another 6-7 years. Mean while we keep taking the fish that hold the golden eggs, and it's legal
They would get so much back fire if they tried to close slave down for even a year. Personally i would think slave would be a much better fishery if where only aloud to keep one fish a week but how would u control that. If u think about it i would say about 60 percent of the fish kept out of slave are by about 10percent of the people. These guys are the ones that live out there during the summer eating walleye 3-5 times daily.
