How many A and B tags got drawn on a zero last year? Check it out on albertarelm.com.
C class walleye tags do show a lack of draw support and that is why they are changing the rules concerning them.

Look around and see if you can find anywhere that applies a tag system for Lakers. You will look even harder if searching for walleye tags. When tags are used elsewhere it is far more sensitive harvest and much lower tag numbers
Look at the other forms of management for bush areas or situations where Lakers populations were brought back from a crash. After switching from a temp C&R period tags were not the option for management
There is options beyond tags for Alberta but it’s a matter of what style of restrictions you support to limit harvest
But I don’t keep enough fish a year to worry too much but I do shake my head at Alberta fisheries management
