i have been looking into my first trip to mille lacs when i ran into something about a 365,000 lb safe harvestable limit and right now we are already at 330,000 lb. and when it hits 365,000 lbs there will be an immediate slot restriction of 14 to 16 inches with one over 28 bag limit of 4. so i was just wondering if this will go and when?
Thanks
Brad
Its changing every 10 minutes. Its like daytime tv.
Days of our lives… on mille lacs
In my humble opinion, the DNR should just close the lake. Why kill more slot fish between 21” – 29”? It does not make sense to reduce the slot to 14” – 16”.
If we are truly trying to protect the slot (breeder) fish, why would we cause harm to them by reducing the slot to 14” – 16”?
If the slot is reduced to 14” – 16”, I will not be fishing Mille Lacs for the rest of the season!!! It is a personal choice and I hope many anglers will take the stance to protect our great fishery!!! Surely the DNR does not share our interest!!!

I’m assuming this was a “tongue-in-cheek” statement?
Total harvest was reported wrong. It is closer to 290,000 pounds. A creel surveyor miscalculted angler hours and that raised the overal harvest. The DNR is considering making some changes to the slot after a meeting with the advisory committee in July.
