MNR completes Walleye Survey

A Ministry of Natural Resources study is giving credence to the importance of angler habits in the management plans of area lakes.

Researchers looked at the habits of anglers in 157 walleye lakes.

Author Len Hunt says the findings will help the MNR in drafting future plans.

The study did find that lakes in close proximity to anglers do face pressures, but anglers aren't inclined to fish the lakes until stocks are depleted.
