So it looks like there is conflicting agendas with the 2 associations- 1 saying "close the West Arm till June to help protect pre to post spawn walleye", and the 2nd saying "well... it's not closed yet, so have at all those walleye we're trying to protect for the sake of a good tournament."
Can you speak to what info has come to light? Is this publicly known info or where did you find it? I'm curious to know what data is supporting the closure.
I'm also curious as to what is meant by your comment above? You make it sound like you 'suspect' SAWT will not fish the west arm, even though it would be closed during the normal tourny date..... I should hope so, lol. I'm sure that's not what you meant, but it sure sounds like that.

The way I see it your wrong(JustKidding). Brian was working towards improving the closures on the lake. Brian also allowed tournments on the lake while it was open and managed to satisfy both his commitments, did he not?
The last 2 years the weather has been different (colder), likely delaying spawning and creating the need to extend the closures. Info comes from having tournments as well.
As to the last part about "suspecting the SAWT" I was being sarcastic, of course they will follow the laws and regs
.
PS, sorry Brian if I overstepped my bounds
