The commission that oversees fishing on Lake Erie is allowing a big increase in the number of walleye and yellow perch that can be caught this year.

The Lake Erie Committee of the Great Lakes Fishery Commission agreed to a 20 percent increase in the total allowable catch for walleye.

The group also increased the total allowable catch for yellow perch by 13 percent

The limits are for both sport anglers in Ohio, Michigan, New York and Pennsylvania along with anglers and commercial operations in Canada.

Excellent spring hatches in 2014 and 2015 are behind the increases.

JUST GOOGLE "Increased Yellow Perch and Walleye Allowable Catches for 2017" for News Stories.

I first read it at this LINK

At this point in time, it's a recommendation and individual agencies will be responsible for managing numbers and harvest. Doubtful we will see any increase this year in regulations on this side, and likely the proposed increase may benefit the commercial fisheries.
