Hi,
Just trying to provide the clarification on possession limit that you requested.
Currently, as you know, fish that you have at home are included in the total number of that species you may legally possess. The DWR is proposing to removing that limitation on warm and coolwater species. This would not pertain to trout, salmon, grayling, or whitefish.
So, under this proposal, when you get home with your limit of walleye, you can prepare them for the freezer and then go fishing the next day without worrying how many you have at home. The two day possession limit in the field would still apply for multiple day fishing trips.
I hope this helps.
