Walleye surveys completed

NOXON - FWP recently completed spring walleye surveys in Noxon Reservoir. These surveys were conducted to determine optimal capture techniques, population demographics, reproductive potential, dietary habits and PCB concentrations within edible portions of walleye. Prior to initiating fieldwork, FWP developed a study plan to assure that our data needs were met. This plan was distributed to FWP’s Citizen Advisory Council and other interested individuals and sportsman’s groups. For 2014, the plan called for lethal samples to be collected from up to 101 walleye and stated that nonlethal samples would be collected from a target of 200 – 250 fish. We anticipated that less than 101 fish would be lethally sampled because few large and small walleye are captured. Walleye that were not killed were fin clipped, measured for length and weight, and tagged prior to release.
