Anglers and surrounding businesses received a shot of good news last week when the Minnesota DNR announced it was liberalizing the walleye limit for Mille Lacs effective last Saturday, Aug. 23. Anglers may now keep three walleyes per day through Nov. 30, at least until a new winter regulation kicks in Dec. 1.
I couldn’t help but scrutinize harvest level data for multiple species on Mille Lacs. For starters, everyone should understand that the Ojibwe bands likely will kill far more walleyes on Mille Lacs during 2025 than will state license holders.
