Walleye Regulations on Mille Lacs Lake Regulations designed to protect the fish needed to rebuild Mille Lacs Lake’s walleye population will require that walleye anglers use only artificial bait and immediately release all walleye when Minnesota’s 2016 fishing season opens Saturday, May 14. “A catch-and-release walleye season allows us to protect future spawners yet acknowledges the desire that fishing remain open,” said Don Pereira, fisheries chief for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. “Not allowing harvest is a difficult decision but it provides our best option.” From May 14 to Dec. 1, anglers targeting walleye must use artificial bait and immediately release all walleye caught. Anglers targeting northern pike and muskellunge may possess and use sucker minnows longer than 8 inches but all other anglers must not possess any other bait that is live, dead, frozen or processed. Other changed regulations for the 2016 season on Mille Lacs include: – Walleye: Night closure beginning Monday, May 16 from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. and continuing through Dec. 1. Muskellunge anglers may fish at night but all baits, live or artificial, in possession must be at least 8 inches long. – Northern pike: Five fish with only one longer than 40 inches. All northern 30-40 inches long must be immediately released. – Bass: Four fish with only one longer than 21 inches. All fish 17-21 inches long must be immediately released. Last year on Mille Lacs, walleye anglers could use live bait and keep one walleye 19-21 inches long or longer than 28 inches. Walleye fishing closed in August when fishing pressure, the number of fish caught and temperatures combined to push the state over its 28,600 pound walleye limit. Fishing re-opened on Dec. 1, 2015, with a walleye limit of one 1820 inches or one longer than 28 inches. “The possibility of closing Mille Lacs to walleye fishing is greater this year than it was last,” Pereira said. “Even with our catch-and-release approach, the risk remains considerable.”

Her tenacious defense and uncanny ability to anticipate passes helped her lead the team in steals for a second consecutive season. She averaged nine points, five rebounds, two steals and two assists per game. Jordan Karli Nielsen, a senior post, was recognized for the third consecutive year by the MRC. She led the Jaguars in scoring (12.2), rebounding (7.8), blocked shots (2.2) and field goal percentage (53) during conference play. Her presence inside demanded attention from opposing teams every game. She was able to score around the basket, as well as off the dribble. On defense, her length and ability to move well helped protect the lane for the Jaguars. Paige Johnson, a sophomore guard, was the second-leading scorer for Jordan during conference play at 11.2 points per game. She led the team in three-point baskets made with 20 during MRC play. She also has the ability to put the ball on the floor and attack the basket and get to the free throw line. Kat Brown-Erdal, a freshman guard, had a season where she got better each week. During MRC play, she was third in scoring with 8.1 points a game. She led the team with 31 assists and 31 steals during conference play. She shot 34 percent from the three-point line. Her ability
to see the court and push the ball up the floor helped the Jaguars play faster. Sibley East Hannah Wentzlaff, a junior center, led the Wolverines in most categories and continues to be a difference maker. She’s a hard-working team player, and with her size, she is a force inside, both offensively and defensively. Alyssa Weber, a senior forward, was a consistent player throughout the year. The team leaned on her to produce in all areas of the game. She was willing to do whatever the team needed. Tri-City United Joslyn Vargo, a junior point guard, led the Titans in scoring, averaging 18.7 points per game. Besides scoring, she led the team in steals (2.6 a game) and was second on the team in rebounding (7.0 a game). She reached another milestone during the 2015-16 season, scoring her 1,000th point in early January. Gabby Robinson, a sophomore point guard, was second on the team in scoring, averaging 9.3 points per game. She led TCU in assists with 3.6 a game and was in steals at 1.7 per game. She gained more confidence as the year progressed and has a very high ceiling going forward. Honorable Mention Fr. Paige Narveson B.P.
