The Wisconsin walleye limit may be different from those in other states. You are still allowed to keep five fish daily statewide, a number that has increased from five in 2008. In addition, the bag limit for the state's waters has increased to ten. Anglers now have more opportunities to catch walleyes per day thanks to a new law. Walleye sizes have also been reduced from 20 to 24 inches.
The new regulations will extend the walleye size and bag limits to five years. The size limit will increase to 18 inches during the five-year period. Fish 22 to 28 inches can be kept. The bag limit would drop to one per day. Gregg Walker from the Minocqua chapter Walleyes for Tomorrow spoke out in support of Monday's new regulation.
All Wisconsin lakes will be subject to the DNR’s new regulations. A walleye must be at least eighteen inches in size. The maximum size for a fish is 28 inches. However, if the fish is over 20 inches, the fish cannot be kept. If this change becomes effective, anglers are now allowed to keep one fish per hour. This will help the population rebound and allow anglers to keep a limit of walleye for recreational purposes.
In response to rapid population declines, the DNR placed a five year ban on walleye harvest. The DNR did surveys this spring and found that the population had reached its goal of two fish per acre. However, this was not enough for the goal. They discovered that the fish were not spawning at the right rate and that there were too few females in the swimming pool. The DNR is still considering new regulations but sentiment is mixed.
Like the fish of the old, the Wisconsin Walleye Limit for Saugers and Other Fish has been altered. The fall regulation will raise the limit on the size of saugers from twenty-seven inches to 27 inches. However, the minimum size limit for saugers and other fish has not been altered. DNR actually has many options for slow-growth and high-density lakes. Some lakes will not require a minimum size while others will only allow one fish that is 14 inches or more.
The new Wisconsin walleye limits will be in effect for 2020-21 licensing years. It is the largest change to fishing regulations in one year in many decades. The new regulation permits anglers to legally pursue bass throughout the year, even after the harvest season has ended. The state will see an increase in tournaments and club trips for bass. It offers more opportunities for fishermen to apply their skills.

You should use live bait if you want to lure fish into eating it. Live bait may include worms.
Artificial lures can be used. These baits are made of plastic, wood feathers rubber metal foam and other materials. Artificial lures come as many styles and sizes. Artificial lures are designed to mimic natural prey animals such as minnows or crawfish, shiners or grubs, as well other aquatic animals. Because they are easy to cast, many people prefer lures. Once they have hit their target, lures are simple to set up and retrieve.
Casting is a great way to learn if you don't want to use live bait, or just want to experiment with new techniques. Casting can be one of the easiest methods to catch fish. It is very easy to do and doesn't require any special skills.
A rod, reel, line and sinker, floatant, hooks and weights are all you need. A simple pole can be used to cast. Casting is as easy as holding the rod vertically high above the water. Slowly lower the rod's tip until it touches water. When it touches water, the line begins to unwind from its reel. Once the line has reached its maximum length, release the rod and let the lure drop back into the water.
Trolling is another method of catching fish. Trolling uses a boat to propel a lure through water.
In conclusion, fishing is fun and rewarding. There are many different types of fishing available and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Some methods are easier to learn than others but all require patience and practice.
