Lake Dauphin is currently under a temporary fishing restriction to protect spawning walleye.
This restriction takes effect immediately and will continue until the walleye spawning period is complete.
During the restriction, no commercial or recreational fishing is permitted, but Aboriginal rights holders can continue to harvest fish by angling only and must release any walleye between 45 to 70 centimetres in length.
It is recommended that additional efforts be made to protect walleye during spawning period and to assist in sustaining a stable stock in Dauphin Lake.
