Walleye drive could crown Rock River area Illinois capital
Local anglers urge continued state support for Rock River stocking to boost walleye numbers. Since 1985 over a half million walleye fry have been released from Oregon to Sterling, with 1988 additions from LaSalle County’s Commonwealth Edison hatchery. Fishermen, including Don Madden and David Mayes, report catches at several spots and stress catch and release of small fish, especially spawning females, to sustain future seasons.
