 Anglers on Malox Lake will be allowed to keep one walleye a day in the upcoming ice fishing season. The DNR on Tuesday said the popular destination lakes walleye population has increased enough to sustain a one walleye harvest for a third straight winter. Anglers may keep one walleye between 21 and 23 inches or one over 28 inches. Walleye angling on Malox was limited to catch and release this summer for the third consecutive season. DNR officials say the Malox walleye population has undergone a long-term decline coinciding with significant changes in the lake's ecosystem, including clearer water, invasive species, and declines in forage species such as perch and tulibies. Another problem has been the failure of enough young walleyes to survive until their second year.
