PFBC Sets 2026 Daily Creel Limits For Lake Erie Yellow Perch And Walleye
HARRISBURG, Pa. (April 21) – The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) announced today that the 2026 creel limit for Lake Erie Yellow Perch will remain at 30 per day and the creel limit for Walleye will stay at six per day.
The PFBC Lake Erie Research Unit evaluates the populations of Yellow Perch and Walleye in Lake Erie annually. If populations reach critically low levels, a management process is followed to reduce harvest and rebuild the numbers of Yellow Perch and Walleye in the Lake. All jurisdictions on Lake Erie adhere to this system.
“Our assessment in 2025 showed that both Yellow Perch and Walleye populations in the Pennsylvania waters of Lake Erie remain at levels that don’t necessitate regulation changes,” said Mark Haffley, PFBC Lake Erie Unit Leader. “Based on these findings, the 2026 creel limits are being maintained at the standard limits.”
