 Minnesota DNR officials in the Grand Rapids Area Fisheries Office will hold an open house to discuss historic and recent changes in Lake Winnibagashish. Lake Winnig is a destination fishery for walleye and yellow perch. Fisheries biologists will share data about changes in fish populations and the impacts of exotic species and regulations. DNR large lake specialist Jerry Albert says the fisheries walleye number are going down, they're in a down period right now. The DNR is investigating whether recent changes are a normal part of walleye biology on Winnibagashish or if something has changed in the system. The meeting will be Tuesday, March 20th from 7 to 10 p.m. at the Minnesota Interagency Fire Center in Grand Rapids. It will begin with a short presentation of data and include time for questions. The meeting is not a regulation review meeting and no special fishing regulation changes currently being proposed.
