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.

History & Status of the Fishery

A fall young-of-the-year (YOY) Walleye electrofishing assessment was conducted on Fish Reservoir on 9/27/2023. A special harvest regulation (13"-17" harvest slot, one over 26", possession limit 3) was enacted in December 2012 to protect spawning stock biomass and reduce fishing mortality. This special assessment was intended to index abundance and average length of YOY and age-1 Walleye and add to the database that has been collected since 1994.

A total of 52 YOY Walleye with an average size of 6.1 inches were captured for a catch rate of 92.6 per hour of electrofishing. Previous catch rates have ranged from 0.0 to 366.6 YOY Walleye per hour of electrofishing. The above average abundance of YOY Walleye captured suggests a strong year-class from 2023 is possible.

One age-1 Walleye measuring 8.9 inches long was sampled for a catch rate of 1.8 per hour of electrofishing. Previous catch rates for age-1 Walleye have ranged from 0.0 to 72.8 per hour of electrofishing. The below average catch rate of age-1 Walleye observed suggests that a weak year-class from 2022 is likely.
