Just got done talking with our CO. He said he didn’t know for sure what year they changed the rule but saugeye are no longer classified with a walleye on the Iowa side of the river. And there is no size limit but bag limits do apply. And he also told me he was not the co who wrote a ticket for a short saugeye and never heard of one being written.
Its been that way since they started the slot. Black spots on the dorsal = livewell
I got a 20″ saugeye last year, guy at the ramp saw it and said it looks too big. I said its a saugeye and he said “its not brown, its a walleye… you better hope the dnr doesnt come” I said ok, closed the livewell and went home to enjoy my diner.
