Anglers have until March 5 to comment about Minnesota’s proposed walleye limit
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources aims to protect walleye populations by reducing the daily possession limit from six to four fish, with public comments open until March 5.
- On 2026-02-21, the DNR proposed lowering the statewide inland walleye limit from six to four, effective March 1, 2027.
- The regulation dates to 1956 and the Department of Natural Resources cited climactic conditions, invasive species and fish-finding technologies as reasons to update the rule.
- Anglers may comment until 4:30 p.m. Thursday, March 5, the DNR said, and the one walleye over 20 inches possession rule would remain unchanged under the proposal.
- Pending approval, the change is scheduled for March 1, 2027, allowing time for the public comment process before the new walleye limit applies.
- The DNR framed the change as proactive conservation, describing it as a move to help future generations enjoy walleye fishing while keeping the one walleye over 20 inches possession rule.
