History & Status of the Fishery
DEC Bureau of Fisheries historically managed the walleye fishery in Delta Lake by annually stocking fry. Surveys conducted in 2009 and 2010 found that walleye were spawning in the lake, and thus the stocking program was suspended in 2013 to determine if the walleye population could be sustained exclusively by natural reproduction.
