DNR sets walleye regulations for the 2025 open-water season on Minnesota’s Lake Mille Lacs

The Minnesota DNR announced on Thursday that anglers on Lake Mille Lacs will be able to harvest two walleye daily during the upcoming open water season, which begins on May 10 and continues through Nov. 30. 
Harvested walleye must be 17 inches or greater, and only one of them can be over 20 inches. This summer’s two-walleye limit comes after a February Mille Lacs Fisheries Advisory Committee meeting where most members told the DNR they favored a three-fish limit at the start of the open-water season. Last year’s open-water season on Mille Lacs started as catch-and-release only before anglers were allowed to keep two walleyes starting in mid-August.
