With the tribes of Minnesota and Wisconsin imposing their traditional right to net in our public waters, we "licensed" anglers are searching for equal rights. If the resource is shared, and everyone is welcome to it, why is there preferential treatment to a certain race? The original treaties were written to ensure Native Americans sustenance, now the resource is being used for profit. This "greed" is endangering a resource that is the livelihood of many people, and communities, and is also the source of enjoyment for many sportsmen, young and old. Please show your support and join in our cause to help stop tribal netting.

Thank you for your support!

Glad someone is finally speaking up about this. It ruins the season for the rest of us every single year.

Treaties are from a different time. Times change and everyone needs to follow the same conservation laws.

The walleye numbers are falling fast in my local lake. We need to manage these waters equally or there wont be anything left for anyone.

GREED. Plain and simple. Stop the netting now.

Totally unfair. My husband spends a fortune on his license and we can barely catch a limit anymore because of this.

Enough is enough. Everyone should play by the same rules if we want the fish population to last for our kids.
