 (3) Seasons: Throughout the year, except that from February 20 through April 14 walleye and sauger may be taken and possessed only between one-half (1/2) hour before sunrise to

one-half (1/2) hour after sunset in the Swan Creek Arm of Bull Shoals Lake above Highway 160 and in the unimpounded portions of all streams except the Mississippi and Missouri

rivers. Walleye and sauger may not be possessed on waters or banks thereof during closed seasons or closed hours 

Learn something every day!

Do they post that at MDC river accesses? Never heard of this before.

I don't remember ever seeing that information posted at a river access but I don't use too many of them though.  It has been the law for many years, at least as long as I can remember.

I hear it was put in place to take pressure off the walleye during the spawn. Some say poachers we're shining fish at ruffles while spawning and dip netting them in shallow water. Dunno just hear say from a couple old timers I fish with?

I have heard same type of stories on Bull Shoals,up in beaver and in swan. Out of staters and not an agent to be seen anywhere. Big wallys swimmin in that lake....
