## Resource

In this episode, the Walleye Alliance and the Minnesota DNR break down new creel survey results from the Brainerd Lakes area. Covering angler effort, forward-facing sonar usage, catch vs. harvest trends, and what anglers are saying about Minnesota's proposed 4-fish walleye bag limit. We also discuss why social data matters, how technology and pressure intersect, and why public comments help shape future fisheries management.
