I had a conversation with a local game warden Friday and we spoke about the walleye hatch for 2012. He said reports see a very good hatch but not outstanding. Very good is enough for me. With all the 9 to 16 inch walleye caught and released this season, this means to me that the population is good and the next few years look good as long as no new factors arise.
All in all the hatch looks good. Have not spoke to anyone that has facts on the trawl survey.
