[quote not-a-purist]How long do the walleye typically stay in the channel to spawn?
[#ff0000]The channel use be closed from march 1st till the last saturday in april so that time frame pretty much covers the time frame of the spawn.[/#ff0000]
I have a decent understanding of how long they run in the area that I am in, but not sure about that part of the state.
The other night I made suggestions to CO's that they make the inlet a 2 fish limit under 20" with NO fishing after dark from say March 1st to May 1st. What do you guys think of this?
[#ff0000]Sounds like a good suggestion, I especially like the part about no fishing after dark in the channel.
[/#ff0000]It would keep people form over harvesting(legally and illegally) and reduce the chance of snagging when no one can see them due to darkness. Watchful eyes in visible light will help keep people honest. It would also save the big females.
