WiperMac, If ethics are the issue, why don't you recommend that all of Willard Bay be closed during the walleye spawn? I've had success catching spawning walleyes off the dikes around Willard. I have also accidentally foul hooked walleyes at this time. These spawning fish are the the ones actually doing the recruitment for Willard Bay.
You also failed to mention the DWR polled 20,000 licensed anglers and over 65% of those were in favor of keeping it open.
The Wildlife Board made a good call. It's nice to see science prevail over emotion. Keep the opportunity open for those who want to fish the inlet.
