NRB approves zero daily bag limit on Minocqua Chain of Lakes, three walleye daily bag limit in ceded territory

MADISON - People fishing on the Minocqua and Tomahawk Chain of Lakes won't be able to keep walleye they catch for the next five years. The Natural Resources Board approved an emergency rule on Wednesday.

The walleye population on the chain crashed during the past decade. The DNR, Chippewa Tribal leaders, and Walleyes for Tomorrow worked together on the plan. They want to see the walleye population improve.

The plan means Chippewa Tribes will give up their right to harvest walleye on the chains for five years.
