Gov. Mark Dayton plans to hold a town hall meeting this morning (Friday) in Isle, Minnesota about the walleye population on Lake Mille Lacs. The Department of Natural Resources says it may have to close walleye fishing on the lake early - possibly next week- because of declining walleye population.

That's prompted concerns among resort owners in the area. Gov. Dayton says he wants to call legislators back for a special session to deal with the issue. 

Dave Orrick joins Tom Weber to talk about the walleye problem on Lake Mille Lacs - including possible solutions, and why there's no easy answer.
