MINOCQUA - The Natural Resources Board will decide what to do with a new walleye bag rule in August. Their possible decision was the focus of a public meeting in Minocqua Friday.
The new rules would mean a three fish bag limit on most lakes and rivers in the ceded territory. Right now, bag limits range from one to five per day. Those are adjusted every year after the tribal harvest. The DNR has been holding public meetings around the state this week. Treaty Fisheries Coordinator Jon Hennessy says almost all of the feedback has been positive.
"We get a little bit of feedback and requests for minor changes on particular water bodies, but that has been the extent of the comments so far," Hennessy said.
