The Wisconsin walleye limit is different than those in many other states. Five fish are allowed daily in Wisconsin, up from five in 2008. The bag limit in the state's waters has also increased to ten. Anglers now have more opportunities to catch walleyes per day thanks to a new law. In addition, the current walleye size limits have been lowered from 20 to 24 inches.
The new regulations will extend the walleye size and bag limits to five years. The five-year limit for size will increase to 18 inches, while fish between 22 and 28 inches may be kept. The bag limit would drop to one per day. Gregg Walker was the executive director of Walleyes for Tomorrow's Minocqua Chapter. He spoke in favor.
The new regulations of the DNR will apply to all Wisconsin lakes. The minimum walleye size is 18 inches. The maximum size for a fish is 28 inches. If the fish is larger than 28 inches, it cannot be kept. The change will mean that anglers can only keep one fish per person. This will allow the population to rebound while providing only a limited amount of walleye for recreation.
In response to rapid population declines, the DNR placed a five year ban on walleye harvest. DNR conducted surveys in spring and discovered that the population had reached its goal at two fish per acre. But this was not enough to sustain the goal level. They discovered that fish were not reproducing as quickly as they were supposed to and that there was too much female stock in the pool. The DNR is currently studying the new regulations. But, there is mixed sentiment.
Unlike the fish of the past, the Wisconsin walleye limit for saugers and other fish have been changed. A new regulation, effective in fall, will increase the size limit to saugers up to 27inches. However, the minimum size limit for saugers and other fish has not been altered. DNR has several options available for lakes that are high-density or slow-growing. Some lakes will have no minimum size, while others will allow only one fish larger than 14 inches.
The new Wisconsin walleye cap will be in place for the 2020-21 licence year. This is one the most significant changes to fishing regulations made in a single year for decades. The new regulation allows anglers legal to target bass all year long, even after the regular harvest seasons are over. The state will see an increase in tournaments and club trips for bass. It offers more opportunities for fishermen to apply their skills.

How often should I change my lures?

Which rod do I choose?
Graphite-fiberglass composite is the best choice for fly fishing. This material is strong, lightweight, and has excellent casting properties. You must practice using a graphite rod to learn how to cast better.
Do you need a bobber to fish?
Yes! You use a bobber to prevent the bait from moving when you are fishing. There are two parts to a bobber: the float, and the line. You attach the hook and line to the lure. Once the line is out, let go of it. You should not use a Bobber as the lure can sink into the water and make it more difficult for fish to bite.
