Walleye In The White River

[taxidermist]

Al's box message box is full but I found this doing a bit of research.

Large parties of fishermen began to take the relatively easy trip on the new White River Railway from the nearby cities of Kansas City, Chicago and St. Louis.

...Bass of three kinds, jack salmon, buffalo, red-horse, suckers and enormous catfish. Not the flabby fish that congregate at the mouth of city sewers, but large, firm-fleshed fighting fellows that give the fishermen all they want to do to handle them on rod and line. - The Cotter Courier, Jan. 1, 1904, quoting the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

I found this searching other things today. Seems that walleye were in the river before dams were built
