Documents: Tribal members sought ban on keeping Mille Lacs walleye

The Mille Lacs Band and other Ojibwe tribes were raising concerns about the walleye population in Lake Mille Lacs well before the state closed the season early this week. Documents obtained by MPR News show that the tribes wanted anglers not to keep any walleyes they caught this year.

Although the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources did place limits on fishing, it rejected the tribe's request.
