Table Rock walleye

[Dutch]

Are they on the rise or being stocked?  I have been fishing this lake for a very long time and only caught some sub legals once in Flat Creek just above Pt. 15.  I used to only hear about them up in the King’s River.  This past week while fishing with Jeff I caught 1 and he caught 3 nice keepers in the Big M area.  Wednesday while fishing with Jeff again I caught one near Piney.  Yesterday I was trying out some swim bait jigs with weed guard and caught a 4# between Campbell Point and Baxter.

What’s the story?

I know (unless things have changed recently), that AGFC no longer stocks walleye in the Kings or White.  Their net sampling in the Kings and White during the spawn indicated a very strong and healthy population of fish.

I don't know if MDC does any stocking.

Just ran across this on the AGFC website.  Collecting broodstock and eggs on the Kings.

Interesting but no Table Rock Stocking.  I once saw them stock on Stockton.  They were barely 1” long.  I’m betting a low % of them survived.

Thanks Jeff Great article. Sounds like we’re in great shape if they are using TR for a breeding ground.
