Must be the camp rule because on Lac Seul you are allowed 4 walleye with a sportsmans license. 3 under 18" and one over 21" None between 18-21"

This is the way the regulation actually reads, but most camps discourage keeping one over 21" and some have absolute rules against it. This and the slot limit have developed Lac Seul into one of the finest Walleye fisheries in the World. Enjoy your trip and post a report when you get back. My Wife and I will be leaving for LS on June 22nd.

Camp rule.

You probably already know but dont forget no live fish in your possesion (apart from minnows)

What is the rationale behind not keeping fish alive in the live well? Anybody know?

I believe it is so you cannot "cull" or upgrade,by switching out fish in the livewell for bigger keepers as the day goes on,reducing the chance of the released fish not surviving,don't know for sure but this is what I was told.

[TroyMansfield]

your exactly right, they wanted to stop people from culling, and up fishing there limit, the chances of a walleye surviving are really low when culled. so rember to break your fishes neck, or bleed them, I prefer bleeding them out, the meat on the inside is perfectly clean when you go to filet them

After some posts last year and some talk in the fish house I started to hold the fish down and pull up on the top jaw until the spine breaks. A little grisly but so is thumping them on the head with a club. I use my forceps those teeth are sharp! I have never been stopped for inspection for live fish but it pays to be in compliance!

The regulation is set up to force an immediate decision as to keeping the fish or releasing it. In 19 trips to Lac Seul we've probably been checked 9 or 10 times. Make sure you are legal - the consequences are not good.
