Mille Lacs walleye fishing won't allow for keepers this year

Walleye fishing on Mille Lacs will take a step backward this year under a new set of regulations that will disallow any harvest throughout the 2020 open-water season.

A year ago at this time, Mille Lacs anglers and business owners were looking forward to three initial weeks of a one-fish bag limit. After that, anglers were allowed to target walleyes on a catch-and-release basis throughout June, July and August.
