Thanks Wakina for posting the link to those threads.

It is pretty clear that the 2012 Walleye Guide was correct in it's prediction that the 2011 hatch was a banner year. I can remember reading those now that you have refreshed my memory. I can also remember the bait netters that year talking about the abundance of yearling walleye they were getting when they were catching shiners. So much for those trawl results! It appears we were correct back then when some of us were questioning the results and many indicators are saying we did indeed have a good 2011 hatch.
