Join us in the fight to prevent the spread of invasive species These sneaky creatures can hitch a ride on boats, clinging onto propellers, anchor lines, and trailers. They can even survive in hidden places like bilge water and ballast tanks, or disguise themselves in dirt and sand that sticks to nets, buckets, anchors, and waders. But don't worry, we have the power to stop them in their tracks with just a few simple steps. So let's do our part and protect our waters from these unwanted invaders.
History & Status of the Fishery
A Walleye fry stocking strategy was evaluated between 2010 and 2016, with stocking gaps in 2010 and 2014 to evaluate the extent of natural reproduction in this system. Night electrofishing in the fall was used to evaluate this strategy. It was concluded that while some natural reproduction was observed, non-stocked year classes did not appreciably contribute to the fishery compared to stocked year classes, but that annual monitoring of the abundance of young-of-the-year (YOY) Walleye should continue on Farm Island Lake.
This year, sampling was conducted on October 7, 2023. Sampling time was 2 hours and resulted in a YOY Walleye catch rate of 13.5 per hour (run time), with an average size of 6.2 inches. While this catch is below the long-term average of 26.6 per hour, it is substantially higher than for years that have not been stocked (1-3 per hour) and comparable to the 2019 year class, which has shown to be relatively abundant in subsequent gill net surveys. The catch rate for age 1 Walleye was 1 per hour, which is also below the long-term average of 2.4 per hour. These modest catch rates suggest modest recruitment for the 2022 and 2023 year classes, although electrofishing catch rates can be quite variable. The standard gill net survey in 2026 will offer the best picture of these year classes after they recruit to the fishery.
