Currently, Leech Lake, the jewel of Minnesota's walleye lakes, has a slot configuration of less than 20" fish may be kept, with one over 26", and a limit of four total.
As one that has angled for the denizens of that beautiful body of water, I know all too well the pain of turning a beautiful 22" walleye back into the water instead of into my frying pan.
Not any more!
The Minnesota DNR just announced that configurations were changing for Leech. The 4 fish limit still applied, but now one of those four can be over 20". That makes a massive difference, especially with multiple anglers in the boat. It will mean the difference between empty livewells and well-appointed fish fries.
For over a decade now, the fishing on Leech Lake has gotten better and better. It's nice to see the walleye population now back to a level where an adjustment like this can be employed.
Get the net!
