WINNIPEG — Manitoba Water Stewardship says the closure and fishing restrictions on the Dauphin Lake tributaries that it ordered on April 14 were lifted at noon today.
The measures included a moratorium on all fishing of walleye on the Turtle, Valley and Vermilion rivers, along with a daily limit of six walleye on other major tributaries during the spawning season. Based on monitoring of the tributaries, Manitoba Water Stewardship has determined that spawning is now complete.
The department noted the conservation measures were in addition to existing measures including reductions in the commercial harvest of walleye from Lake Dauphin, reductions in the daily catch limit of walleye for anglers, the requirement that all spawning-sized walleye be released, and closure of all commercial and recreational fishing during the spring spawning season.
The department said the provincial government remains committed to working with First Nation, Métis and other commercial and recreational users of the fishery to ensure a sustainable fishery.
