Default Do tagged fish count against your possesion limit?

Just curious if I filled my walleye tags (3) in one day can I keep more walleye on another open lake either that same day or on another?

I don't think the tags increase the provincial possession limit. You might want to call Srd to be sure but as I read it your only allowed three walleye total.

Default of course they do

It doesn't matter if your filling tags or fishing a lake that does not require tags any fish that you have killed counts against you daily limit/possation

Same here but I was just thinking about it.

Since there is no possesion limit listed under the tag lakes and you bought the tags would it not be the same as commercially caught fish?

Its not a problem I have ran into but was just considering with the late season push to fill tags if I was at another lake fishing and picked up a single walleye could I stop at my tag lake and pick up my alotted fish that I paid for?

Default 3 means 3

Tagged fish count against your pocession limit. If you have three walleye from last fishing season in the freezer and this year's tags in your pocket then you'd better have Walleye for dinner, otherwise your going to be over the limit. And commercially caught fish are netted your angling unless you have a commercial liciense for netting. So you are allow without tags two walleye in the slot size at Calling Lake and 1 over 50cm at Rock Island just up the road from Calling. But if you go home and dump those three in freezer and the next day go to Pigeon and tag your 3, then your over the limit.

Again all in the regs.

So just for the reccord we are all in agreement that you can keep fish from different bodies of water untill your daily limit is filled? For instance I could keep one from Slave lake, one frome the Slave river, and then go up to Utikima and keep one more for a total of three fish despite each of theise body's having a one fish limit?

To my understanding there is nothing illegal about doing this, just checking if the AO ethics police are on the same page befor I post pictures from some epic Walleye safari's and get into a bunch of pointless arguments.

Of course, that is why they have lake specific and overall daily catch limits.

OK, some epic walleye safari's coming up this summer! With all the questions about places to fish from shore I've been thinking of doing a shore fishing safari, fishing hard from shore one weekend and posting pictures of the results. See if I can put togeather a walleye limit plus some pike, goldeye, and trout just to prove how easily it can be done.

Wow I need to go fishing with you, I just started fishing last year but I hardly ever catch anything.

I look forward to the pics.

Id be willing to put my money on tags or not those fish go to your provincial limit in your possession after all the regulations state revert to these limits if lake or water body isnt list ( or something to that tune ) .
