Slots, closings, smaller limits, working?

Other than the inconvenience does this seem to be making a difference in fishing quality,(size/quantity) yet. I would have to say yes at Bellevue…seem to catch more fish in the 23-28 inch range many days than any other size. What are the rest of your takes on the it. Indian here,(ME), still says leave it alone and let nature and use control themselves, but I might be rethinking it …Lake of the Woods , St. Louis River, Petenwell Flowage, Bellevue, and pool 9(home pool), are my favorites. All but pool 9 have restrictions other than minimum length. Big thumbs up for all except Petenwell… don’t know why but it seems to be quite a bit worse in slot size fish.. Tons of shorties and almost none over the slot and less every season legal to 20 inches.. I know a lot of us as fishermen and guides over there keep very few fish,( and some keep everything), and it’s still declining??? Again what’s everyone elses take on the slots and closings.

Seems each body of water is different, Wissota is no better a walleye lake now than it was 7 years ago, the slot seems to have done very little, also the closing of the season on the chip river flowages (Wissota) and river , same little dinks year in year out very few fish in the slot, fewer above the slot yet the biggest and most walleyes I catch in this area is below the dam in downtown Eau Claire were there is a 15″ size limit and no closed season. Mississippi has no closed season and no slot and I catch more big walleyes there than anywhere else in this state and it gets alot of pressure, managing fish is no picnic that is for sure….
