As required by the Expedited Emergency rule published in the State Register on April 25, 2011 (Volume 35, pages 1650-1652; Part 6264.0400, Subp. 4a, Item B), the walleye size limit on Mille Lacs Lake and associated tributaries will change as specified below because the walleye kill estimates were below the established quota of 238,500 pounds prior to July l.



As of 12:01 am July 27, the walleye regulations for Mille Lacs Lake and associated tributaries will be as follows:

While a person is on or fishing in Mille Lacs Lake and its associated tributaries to the posted boundaries, all walleye in possession must be greater than 28 inches in length or less than 20 inches in length. All walleye that are 20 to 28 inches in length must be immediately returned to the water. A person may take and possess not more than one walleye over 28 inches. The bag limit for walleye is four fish.

This regulation continues until midnight November 30, 2011. All fishing regulations for species other than walleye and all other fishing restrictions remain unchanged on Mille Lacs
