Walleye Limit Bill Reaches MN Senate Floor

Sen. Carrie Ruud (R), District 10, proposed a bill to reduce the daily limit of walleye from six to four. Now that the bill has passed phase one, it now moves to the Senate floor for a vote.

After Ruud first brought up the bill in 2020, it has been revised using feedback from anglers and the DNR.

There has been a major increase in fishing licenses this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic that has strained both the walleye population and anglers.
