In the north bay nugget today Nipissing First Nations admit they are exceeding safe harvest limits.......But they are having meetings at the end of the month for FN residents.But the netting will continue in my view

That is a scary statement.

“The adult population is severely stressed and there was a low success rate of the 2013 spawn. Very few young of the year were found during the fall assessment.”

The recovery of the walleye population rests in the three- and four-year-old fish, according to the letter.
“Unfortunately, to this point in the season, the data we have collected suggests that the commercial fishery is targeting those fish, specifically in the 300 millimetres to 400 mm range. We are projecting that by the end of the season irreparable damage will have been caused to the walleye stocks in those year classes.”
