Letter to the Governor, Willard Bay inlet

[wormandbobber]

[quote Sirfilletalot]The few of us who participated throughout the entire RAC process thought common sense may prevail; however, the Wildlife Board went with the DFW recommendation and ignored the Northern RAC recommendation to close the inlet during the spawn.

Actually, common sense did prevail...if the walleye population is higher than it has been in years and the inlet is not needed for recruitment and spawning, why should it NOT be opened up? Common sense says that if snagging is the issue then fishermen need to be educated on why snagging is wrong and why snagged fish should be released.

But, if overharvest of fish isn't a problem, why should the inlet be closed down?
