Just a reminder:
Walleye anglers on Upper Red lake are allowed to keep two walleyes under 17 inches. All walleyes between 17 and 26 inches must be released, and one trophy fish over 26 inches may be kept as part of the two walleye limit. |

Hi keeper and welcome to JustNorth Outdoors! 
In answer to your question:
The Minnesota DNR has announced the proposed walleye regulations on Upper Red Lake. The regulations will take effect when walleye fishing resumes in spring of 2006. All of Upper Red and Lower Red lakes have been closed to walleye harvest since 1999 under a recovery agreement between the Red Lake Band and DNR.
The Red Lakes Fisheries Technical Committee has determined that walleye recovery is sufficient to resume some harvest by 2006.
"In anticipation of high angling pressure on a newly reopened fishery, regulations will need to be fairly restrictive to manage harvest within safe harvest levels," said Henry Drewes, DNR regional fisheries manager in Bemidji.
Fisheries managers utilized a citizen advisory committee to help select from a limited number of possible regulation options. The walleye regulation calls for a two fish possession limit and a 17- to 26-inch protected slot, with only one over 26 inches allowed in possession.
"The two-fish bag limit option has the best chance of spreading the available safe harvest over a full summer and winter season," Drewes said. The protected slot was selected to protect the bulk of the mature broodstock that has been built up during the recovery period. "The Upper Red Lake Citizens Advisory Committee clearly recognizes the importance of protecting this fishery through conservative regulations" said Drewes. "We sincerely appreciate their support and hard work over the last 12 months."
In addition, there are concerns about maintaining the quality northern pike fishery known to exist on Upper Red, with the expected increase in open water fishing pressure as walleye angling resumes. A 26- to 40-inch protected slot, with only one in possession over 40 inches, is being proposed to provide quality management for northern pike.
For further information contact Bemidji Area Fisheries Office, 2114 Bemidji Avenue, Bemidji MN 56601; by phone at (218) 755-2974; or by email to gary.barnard@dnr.state.mn.us.
Hope this helps,
Buck
