There are a few good changes, I’d like to see a few more slot sizes on walleye on a few more lakes but overall a positive move in the right direction.

Wow some good news for sure. I don't always go out to keep fish but in the summer camping it's sure nice have a little fish fry in the evening. This might actually change the travel plans up quite a bit.

I’m satisfied with the 50-55 walleye slots in the south.

Interesting on Sylvan. When I took the survey and saw they were planning on stocking more in Sylvan, I was not for that. I voted slot but this works too. There are a lot of wallies in that lake now. I wonder how many others voted similar.

Interesting that they kept tags on certain lakes. Not sure if that will continue to work with slots on nearby lakes now. I'm still putting in for tags for Pigeon. Just too close for me not to

A few changes for us. The app on your phone came into effect last year actually. Second year for me and others. Way better than carrying cpoies everywhere.

Did not notice anything negative but would like to see more effort in spreading the pressure. It’s a step in the right direction offering conservative c&k opportunity at least.

Interesting that Gull and Sylvan both allow you to keep a fish, but Pigeon is still on a tag system. Looks like things are moving in the right direction though...

Perhaps the biggest threat to these changes is they were only implemented on a few lakes, it would have been far better to spread out the pressure and open on a few more lakes (slots on cvr, Mcgregor, travers) to begin with would have been great as well. Don’t pound the heck out of the lakes boys, bringing one home for the grill is good but don’t overdo it so they say it doesn’t work.

I have to agree with you

Anglers need to use common sense well enjoying their opportunity

Hoping for slots on Lac Ste Anne and Pigeon for next year. It’s a start in the right direction, as long as they see it through for at least 5-6 years so the lakes can adjust and things improve.

These are some phenomenal changes to add to the experiment of our water bodies. There has been so much R&D that has gone into refining the regs, and I can tell at this point in time, it’s time that AEP is starting the “walleye” harvest experiment.

Of course there are some changes I’m not stoked about, but to all the haters, we can’t keep everyone happy!

Burn!

Looks like the only thing they may be running for is Covid-19 testing...but still holding onto a glimmer that things may start up again.

What a joke. 20 years of mismanagement and now they finally come to their senses. No wonder I no longer fish in this province.
