Message: <blockquote data-quote="lunkerslayer" data-source="post: 81354" data-attributes="member: 217">Another lake that allows gill netting is Leech lake for whitefish as well as walleye non spawn season, they still stocked leech regardless so much so that there was actually more walleye than what the DNR said the lake could hold. BUT they are still allowing gill netting to proceed on leech lake. Maybe the new president will overturn the 1837 treaty that the SCTUS allowed 5-4,but till then let's be poised to civil conversation. Netting during spawning should be addressed even though the non natives get to harvest three times as much fish as natives do. With another 20,000 pounds of hook mortality compared to the 11,400 pounds taking by native gill nets. If, for example, 2013 walleyes are still hitting anglers’ baits at extraordinary rates this summer, perhaps many of these fish will die anyway after being released.Such “hooking mortality,” or its estimation, will be included in the 28,600-pound quota allowed anglers during the coming open water season. (Eight Chippewa tribes will get 11,400 pounds).For perspective on the lake’s current plight, this 40,000-pound “safe harvest” quota pales compared to the lake’s 2006 quota of 600,000 pounds.- - - Updated - - -Also do you have a website where I can read about the DNR member stating he could lose his job over not allowing gill nets, also tell me how come the DNR doesn't have better grasp on how many walleye population on any given year.- - - Updated - - -take back the land that they're for farthers sold to our gov't in the 1800's even before Minn was declared a state.Bud read a sentence that stated "when 3 or more Indians are seeing together it was considered a war party and could be shot on site" the place went nuts! This here is why natives do what they do for spite. See that right there snow is the big factor and I can smell it through my computer screen "envy" that is all.</blockquote>

Verification: What is the most common fish caught on this site?
