A proposal by the Department of Natural Resources has been submitted to the administrative law judge for a hearing to lower the statewide walleye bag limit from 6 to 4.
"The public comment period on the Minnesota DNR Fisheries’ proposal to reduce the statewide walleye bag limit from 6 to 4 ended on March 5, and by late last week, the agency had tallied nearly 1,500 total comments.
Brad Parsons, DNR Fisheries chief, told me that 53% of the comments supported the limit change, 32% were opposed, and the remaining 15% were neutral or commenting on matters irrelevant to the statewide limit." - Rob Drieslein // March 18, 2026 // Outdoor News
