Overfished and out of stability? Angler perceptions and DNR studies paint contrasting photos of Lake regarding the Woods fish populations

Overfished and out of stability? Angler perceptions and DNR studies paint contrasting photos of Lake regarding the Woods fish populations

A audience and avid Lake associated with the Woods fisherman took us to process yesterday for a recently available tale we composed about a Campbell, Minn., angler whom boated “at least 60” walleyes over 25 ins during a June visit to the lake that is big.

TJ Harig, who copied their claim by sharing a few photos he may never experience again with me, said his two days on Lake of the Woods served up the kind of fishing. According to Lake of the Woods laws, which need fishermen to produce walleyes from 19ВЅ ins to 28 ins, Harig stated he circulated all the big walleyes but additionally caught fish that is eater-size.

I am a sucker for a good seafood tale, and element of my task is sharing the successes (and problems) of hunters, fishermen as well as other outside enthusiasts and so I was fast to bite whenever Harig shared their story. It had been the absolute most browse story on our site for at the very least two days operating.

In addition, in all honesty, amongst the pandemic and storm harm from a current and ongoing barrage of serious weather at our property in northwest Minnesota, come july 1st it seems i am being forced to fish vicariously through the stories and experiences of other people.

My buddies will attest that this turn that is undesirable of has made me quite cranky, often times.

‘Pretty disappointed’

My tale on Harig’s visit to Lake associated with Woods, which later on was included in WCCO within the Twin Cities, had a comparable influence on a fisherman whoever family members for decades has owned a cabin regarding the south coast regarding the Lake regarding the Woods and fishes here often.

“Pretty disappointed,” was their response to the storyline.

“Not certain why anybody may wish to inform that tale, specially because bad as the fishing has gotten in the last several years as a result of extreme force on the pond,” he penned. “Maybe you would wish to accomplish a story regarding the more practical part of the person that includes fished the pond for around 50 years that can not barely get a keeper anymore between mid-June and September.”

Simply the week that is previous he stated he’d spent more than 15 hours fishing Lake associated with the Woods and caught just two keepers.

“when we see or read a tale similar to this i recently bristle!” he published. “we wish their next 10 trips are like mine so he defintely won’t be therefore fast i thought about tids to brag.”

He included: “One thing has to be done to either decrease stress or limitations (or both), however a ‘one in a million’ tale such as this does not assist.”

Although the reaction that is harsh me personally off-guard, We have had comparable issues, particularly in regards to the standard of cold weather fishing force on Lake regarding the Woods. All the way to Garden Island, some 25 miles from the south shore of the lake during a mid-February snowmobile/ice fishing trip to Oak Island on the Northwest Angle, I saw plowed roads and a city of wheelhouses.

Time was, you aren’t a snowmobile had that area of the pond just about to by by themselves.

A few columns we penned in regards to the boost in wintertime fishing force produced response that is tremendous other fishermen, nearly all of who additionally had issues concerning the quantity ice fishing force.

The figures are staggering.

Predicated on results from the creel study the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources carried out this previous cold temperatures, fishermen logged nearly 2.8 million hours of ice fishing time in the big pond from December through March, smashing the earlier record of 2.1 million hours during the cold winter of 2019.

This winter that is past number probably could have been also greater in the event that pandemic had not brought go to a screeching halt into the last half of March.

Fishermen additionally kept an calculated 243,803 pounds of walleyes and 461,240 pounds of saugers this winter that is past. In comparison, fishermen through the cold weather of 2019 kept 370,000 pounds of walleyes and 479,000 pounds of saugers.

So, harvest this previous cold temperatures was down, despite an amazing boost in fishing force, in line with the DNR creel study outcomes.

Away from stability?

Another longtime Lake associated with Woods fisherman from my hometown of Roseau, Minn., this week explained he believes the pond may be out of stability and it has a lot of big walleyes, seafood that either autumn in the slot that is protected are also bigger.

“It really is a phenomenon that is strange you are fishing and you also set the hook and you also state it seems too large and no body receives the web extremely fast,” he stated. “then you definitely set the hook and state, ‘This is like a keeper.’ Man, (they) obtain the net today as you’re finally planning to get someone to consume.”

We shared the 2 anglers’ frustrations with Phil Talmage, area fisheries manager for the DNR in Baudette, Minn. The DNR’s annual fall population survey on Lake of the Woods, which begins the Tuesday after Labor Day and continues for 17 consecutive days, yielded walleye and sauger numbers that both exceeded DNR management goals as i reported in December.

The survey produced good amounts of 13- to 15-inch saugers and above-average abundance of 15- to 19-inch walleyes; 13- to 14-inch walleyes had been somewhat below historic averages in final autumn’s study.

Asked this week exactly exactly just how he would answer the declare that Lake of this Woods may be out of stability, Talmage stated present laws perform a “great task” of protecting spawning-size seafood, this means the abundance of bigger walleyes is certainly not astonishing.

“We do monitor the whole fishery very near, and also at this time around we now have great amounts of fish underneath the protected slot,” Talmage stated; “keepers” not as much as 19ВЅ ins, put another way.

If fishermen are not getting keeper-size walleyes in time-worn locations, Talmage recommends attempting various areas.

“they truly are on the market,” he stated. “Lake associated with Woods is a big and lake that is dynamic and walleye can move about a great deal.”

Wherever you stay on Lake associated with Woods, its fishing stress and walleye that is current styles, be good into the messenger.

The time that is last caught a walleye, if not had an opportunity to catch them, was inside my February ice fishing day at Lake for the Woods.

Perhaps I’m using this pandemic too really, but i have very nearly forgotten exactly what a walleye appears like. And it is making me crankier each day.

Having said that, I would be interested to listen to your ideas if you should be A lake that is frequent of Woods angler; strike me up.
