 Walleyes For Tomorrow Success :happy1:
 
 
Thought I would share some video that explains why the walleye population has improved on Lake Geneva where I guide. A shout out to all da volunteers for their efforts and everyone from "Walleyes For Tomorrow" who made this happen. The Wisconsin DNR supplied the training, equipment and technical support.

The portable hatchery it's self was built on site with a donated trailer that was converted into small a hatchery.

Natural reproduction on Lake Geneva had come to a virtual halt for years due to poor spawning areas and predators. Some years back da DNR estimated after a survey that da lake held 1/2 a walleye per acher.

Lake Geneva is located in s/e Wisconsin (Walworth county)

The Mn DNR runs a similar operation for Lake Winnibigosh / Cutfoot over on Little Cutfoot which is ~ 7-8 miles away. Usually it's about the 2nd week of April, we've stopped in to check things out more than a few times. Pretty interesting to talk to the people there & seeing how they do it. :cool: I think  :scratch: it's typically close to 700 qts. of fertilized eggs that they take back to GR to hatch.
