Walleye stocking and production report highlights
The report notes bass decline while average size ban rose. About 11 million walleyes stocked this spring across multiple lakes including 2 million at West Okoboji and 4 million at Strom Lake, plus 300,000 at Greer Valley Lake for southern Towa exploratory stocking. Walleye production in Towa hatcheries fell due to storms and timing issues, though natural reproduction in Iowa lakes may be higher as no lake walleyes were netted this spring.
