Cormorants likely to blame for walleye decline in Minnesota’s Pelican Lake
Published: , in Outdoor News
Anglers and other interested outdoor enthusiasts have until 5 p.m. on Aug. 31 to comment on what the Minnesota DNR is calling “fish and cormorant population management alternatives” for Pelican Lake in western Minnesota’s Grant County.
At issue is Pelican Lake’s declining walleye population.
