DNR looking at cut in 60-year daily limit of six walleye

Minnesota’s standard walleye limit of six fish per license holder could shrink for the first time in 60 years under a review that’s in its infancy at the state Department of Natural Resources (DNR), a state fisheries manager told a large gathering of anglers Friday.

“There seems to be some momentum out there right now for reduced bag limits,” said Brad Parsons, central region fisheries manager.

Parsons was one of several speakers at the annual DNR Roundtable conference to highlight changes in fishing culture, technology and regulation. The daylong event at a Bloomington hotel, also keyed to hunting and ecological issues, was attended by hundreds of invited stakeholders.
