Walleye Stocking

[Quillback]

Arkansas has stocked approximately 50,000 2 inch Walleye fingerlings into Table Rock this May. I assume they went into the White River arm, but the report does not specify where they were stocked.

I believe several were stocked in around Cricket Creek as well as the upper kings river. These are the Arkansas portions of the white river. I know last year that several walleye were caught from cricket creek upstream.

50,000 2" walleye should make for some crappie and bass food. I wonder how many of them can be expected to make it to legal length.

Cheaper to do this with a calculated mortality rate that raise them themselves for a year in the hatcheries...That's my guess anyway. I saw some very nice walleye (my uncle caught) that showed up in some unexpected parts of T-Rock this year. I saw the pics and first assumed he had been over to Bull...

They did 2 stockings, one with approx. 40 K and another around 6 K. To Jeremy's point, maybe it was 2 different locations, White and Kings rivers.

The high water this spring should probably help with keeping some of those little eyes alive. (hopefully)
