Walleye in Lake Winnipeg are known to move into tributary waters on a seasonal basis. To ensure Lake Winnipeg Walleye are sustainably managed year-round, it is important to have similar size regulations on tributaries as for the lake. Lake Winnipeg is a very popular fishery with large numbers of BIG walleye. We went to Lake Winnipeg in search of a master angler 28 inch walleye. We managed to get a few really nice size.
