Cherokee walleye limit

[Tenntrapper]

I was looking at the fishing regs. It says statewide walleye limit is 5 per day. Under the Cherokee lake section, it says walleye, sauger, and saugeye is 10 per day, in combination. Does that mean that the walleye limit is 10, if that's all you catch, or do you have to mix it up?

id probably call the regional fisheries office on that question or SCN might know.

my gut feeling is 5 walleye and 5 sauger.

**UPDATE**

Just talked to region iv office. Can have a combination of 10 fish total. Can be all the same, or mixed up.

cool glad you called. they must stock enough to provide an extra 5 walleye to keep.

I read that last May, they stocked about 80,000 in Cherokee.

As stupid as this will sound I'm going to say it anyway. I never even thought about the clinch for walleye. I may try it this spring since i work about 5 minutes away from the weir damn and drive right past it on my way home.


If you're going to be stupid, you'd better be tough!

It also has a 15 inch size limit whereas the statewide size limit is 16 inches for walleye

We put in at Miller's then rowed ( a driftboat) up to the weir. They were at 6-8ft and neither one of us had a sinking line as we were flyfishing. Some guy was in a kayak throwing a lure of some kind and had caught 2.
