The Michigan DNR has set a daily limit for walleye catches on Lake Erie to six through April 30.  The DNR says the rule is based on a process adopted last year for setting catch limits based on real-time population data.

Michigan’s daily possession limit for walleye on Lake Erie is based on its share of the total allowable catch. That’s set by the Lake Erie Committee under the Great Lakes Fishery Commission.

The 2012 total allowable catch for Lake Erie is 3.49 million fish, making Michigan’s quota 203,000 fish
