The winter economy can not be sustained by muskie and smallmouth fishermen.
Try a slot more geared towards getting all those big walleyes out of the lake and see what happens. There are way to many big walleyes in the lake imo. You have a better shot to catch 3-4 25"+ fish than you do one in the slot. The history of the lake seems that there's way to many big fish to support a good eater population. Smallmouth and muskies aren't the problem.
All 4 species can live in the lake if they can figure it out. But it might mean sacrificing some of those bigger walleyes.
