State anglers fishing on Minnesota’s Upper Red Lake during the 2026 open-water season that starts Saturday, May 9, will have a five-walleye possession limit, with only one walleye longer than 17 inches allowed. This is the same regulation that was in place for the 2025 open-water season.
“Upper Red Lake walleye have been managed at a level that, among other factors, resulted in a number of recent strong year classes,” said Andy Thompson, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources area fisheries supervisor for Bemidji.

New York native and Bassmaster Elite Series pro angler Jamie Hartman’s 2026 season is off to an up-and-down start. After a fourth place finish on Alabama’s Lake Guntersville, Feb. 5-8, Hartman stumbled a week later, missing the cut at Lake Martin, also in Alabama.
His success at Guntersville, however, provided a glimpse into the past and some hope that he can get back to regular top-10 finishes he had earlier this decade.
