(Bob Hague, Wisconsin Radio Network) The Department of Natural Resources is rolling out new regulations on walleye fishing ahead of next weekend’s fishing opener.

According to Bob Hague with the Wisconsin Radio Network, fisheries director Justine Hass says they’re expanding the three bag limit across most of the state. Anglers can only keep three fish on the water they’re fishing on if the bag limit is three, but may still keep five in total for the day.

There’s also a limit on sizes that may differ from lake to lake. Make sure you check the rules at the boat launch, and find out more online at D N R dot W I dot Gov.
