Looking at all the fishing reports has me researching and unable to find the answer. When fishing with a guide, do customers get to keep the guide‘s limit as well? As if the guide may donate their portion of the total boat possession to the customer?

Samfox, I never heard of that. What documents would you need that would satisfy a warden?

I’ve fished that dam in the past FishChip.
I’ve always wondered if you got searched by DNR and have 10 walleyes, do they accept your story that the guide gave them to you?

If you fish the Pride dam in Tomahawk you can keep a limit of walleyes and if you fish with certain guides you can keep their limit too.

Guide, I fished with last Fall up north for panfish has a 20 fish max and that's what we kept only, I thought it was a good policy especially for that body of water.

Recently there was a post on one of the fish reports that the WI DNR has changed rules; and it's now illegal for guides to gift fish to paying clients. I had read about a year ago that the DNR was looking into this. Just wondering if anyone here has more information about this. Please post-up if you know anything about these changes. Thanks!
