(MNN)-Minnesota anglers could soon see the statewide walleye limit drop from six to four. The Department of Natural Resources says the proposed change would help protect the state’s walleye population for future generations. The current rule allowing only one walleye over 20 inches would stay in place. Officials say the update reflects changes in climate, invasive species, and fishing technology since the six-fish limit was set in 1956. The public comment period is open through March 5.
