Bob, you sort of answered your own question there. The demand for the salmonid fishery is higher than the demand for the walleye fishery. Also, think of what you need to troll for those "silvers": a boat, downriggers, graph/depthfinder, not to mention gas for the motor. It's an expensive way to fish; perfect for injecting more money into the economy. Certainly not saying it's better, but those that set the regulations will always have their eyes on the economy.
Have you ever seen a fishery managed to prioritize panfish? No, because $20 in gear from Walmart and you're good to go!
