Both fish can be 18 to 20 inches long, or one of that length and another over 28 inches long. The regulation change will be in effect until Saturday, Nov. 30. The DNR says that population surveys suggest that the lake has "relatively high numbers" of fish 18 to 20 inches long. "Expanding the possession limit to two fish and adjusting the harvestable size range allows anglers to catch and keep the 'eaters' many prefer," the DNR said in a news release. In 2021, the DNR estimated around three million to four million walleye are caught yearly in the state.
