NWOTA Supports New Walleye Proposal

At least one tourism group is in favour of the proposed lower Walleye catch limit.

The MNR is proposing a 2 Walleye catch limit for lakes in northwestern Ontario as early as next year for non-resident anglers.

Lucas Adams is the president of the Northwestern Ontario Tourism Association and says the changes won't affect fishing camps because most tourists don't ask about regulations when booking trips and don't have any issue when learning about them once arriving to the camps.

Adams did say he also wanted to see a regulation to prevent fishers from keeping Walleye over 18 inches.
