It's just about the end of ice fishing season, but as anglers look ahead to the beginning of walleye season, they won't be taking any home from malac's lake. State wildlife officials announced today that starting May 13th any walleyes caught on the lake will have to be released. The Department of Natural Resources also announced that walleye fishing will not be allowed at all on the lake from July 7th through the 27th during peak season. Anglers fishing for other species can do so during the 21-day period, but will only be allowed to use artificial bait and lures. The DNR said the decision was made due to the lake's struggling walleye population.
