Default Walleye tag Newell/rolling hills reservoir

I am wondering whether I could use my Newell walleye tag at rolling hill reservoir, does anybody know?

The reason I am asking this question is because from their website, it seems rolling hills is also tag based but there is no such option when I apply for the walleye draw.

Found an old draw list that had Newell and RH as seperate entities. Based on that I'd say no.

The tags are lake specific. Only good for the lake you drew for.

You cannot use your Newel tag in Rolling Hills Reservoir. They are separate water bodies. Rolling Hills is Catch and Release only. The biologists had considered Rolling hills to go to a tag system this year, however, did not, due to some reasons and excuses. It will most likely have its own tags for next year.

Interesting. While I'm not a fisheries biologist, I have a hard time seeing how Rolling Hills couldn't support a tag/slot size retention. When an inexperienced fisherman can catch a dozen walleye from shore in an afternoon, the populations are strong.

It had tags for a couple seasons. Very few each year. Numbers probably didnt justify retention
