Our Lake District recently attended the “Wisconsin DNR Walleye Management Plan Update” which was held on October 13^th, 2020.  The purpose of this virtual meeting was to update Wisconsin’s Walleye Management Plan, which was last updated in 1997.  Participants in attendance represented the tourism industry, professional guides, lake groups (like ourselves) and various resort owners.
