i like the idea of slot limits... eat the eaters...leaves chances for some trophys if u cant keep em at say 24-30 inches ...idk just a thought    think the last time i kept a lil bigger walleye it was a bit fishy tasting anyways :)P


 
my taste buds don't work...all sizes of eyes taste great to me!  The one in my pic tasted great.  I'm not sure if that's becasue it's my personal best or if walleye just tastes that good to me.

Saturday the 14th must have been a great day fishing at Pymy for any species. Check out the KBBC bass tourney results for that day on their website. What a slugfest........

I long for the days of doubles in the boat and sometimes triples.  Days of Yore are back or so it seems.  Can't wait to go this weekend.

Being a new fishermen to Pymie, where do they go in the summer? Seems like they disappear when the water temp gets hot.

I honestly don't think the feed situation will be a problem in pymy.  The alewife population is unreal.  I don't ever remember going out and seeing the bait-balls like are out there now.  You go out there on a decent sunny day and there are 1000's of alewives in groups all over the place.  One day last summer I had 20 different schools around me with easily 10,000+ fish in it (and that was all I could see right around me).  The other thing is the perch population.  When you catch 75 perch while drifting and the largest is 10", that just means food for the walleye.  The lake could easily sustain a large population of big walleye.

I agree it is nice to go out there and catch 30+ walleye again, but this lake can easily produce trophy sized fish.  When every fish that hits 15" is kept, then of coarse trophy fish will be few and far between.  I know this lake is a put and take fishery, however, with the alewife and perch populations, the walleye are growing quicker then before. 

As an added note, I would also like to see them reduce the limit to 3 or 4.

holy crap. no ones happy. when people were complaining that they weren't catching fish but only 1 or 2 maybe 3 everyone was saying they wished it was like back in the day. now that it is again like it used to be people are complaining wanting it back to few and far between. make up your mind people.
