Is culling walleye on the Canadian side of Lake of The Woods allowed?

Any of you Canadians have an answer? Thanks WFT

WFT,

According to the rule book, culling is allowed if the fish have been placed in a live well with sufficient capacity (15 gallons, I think) and an automatic areator. My friend found this information buried somewhere in the book a couple years ago while we were at LOTW. I will try to find the exact verbage and pass it on to you.

BTW, I'm not "Officially" Canadian but both my parents were born in Quebec Province, so I am eligible to provide an answer to your question :-) .

East... answered the question but here it is for anyone who doesn't want to look it up:

Generally, daily catch limits include all fish that are retained for any period of time and not immediately released.

Anglers fishing from a boat may catch, hold, and selectively live

release more walleye, northern pike, largemouth or smallmouth bass

than the daily limit, provided:

(a) the fish are held in a livewell with a mechanical aerator operating

© the Sport or Conservation Fishing Licence daily catch and retain

limits for walleye or northern pike are not exceeded at any one time,

(d) no more than six largemouth or smallmouth bass (or any

combination) caught under a Sport Fishing Licence are retained at

(e) the Conservation Fishing Licence catch and retain limits for

largemouth and smallmouth bass (or any combination) are not

exceeded at any one time.

Anglers are reminded to closely monitor the condition of fish held

in a livewell. Only fish that are in such a condition that they will

survive may be released (see Tips on Live Release of Fish, page 10).

Releasing a fish that will not survive and allowing the flesh of that fish

to be wasted is an offence. Any fish not li
