 Catch and release walleye fishing and use of live bait will return to Melox Lake effective at six tomorrow morning and will continue through Monday, September 4th. As of July 31st, state anglers had harvested 47,899 pounds of walleye out of the state's conservation cap of 55,800 pounds. The DNR decided last month to dip into the conservation cap in order to extend the walleye season through Labor Day. A prohibition on night fishing will remain in place from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. through November 30th. Regulations do allow anglers to fish for musky and northern pike at night, but they may only use artificial lures longer than eight inches or sucker minnows longer than eight inches. Bow fishing for rough fish also is allowed at night, but possession of angling equipment is not allowed and only rough fish may be in possession.
