Are you able to provide any additional information on the success of that. I am associated with the very active Three Lakes Waterfront Association and would like to pass along what we can learn from you. Thanks!

If so, Hi and hope all is well. I'm out here in God's Country-Newport Beach, CA for the past 26 years. Keep those lakes clean - we bungled clean water big time out here so thank heavens for the midwest.

Interesting. Hi Arnie, Here's what I know at this point. I'll be better informed after the "Young of Year" survey comes out in late fall. Walleyes are still reproducing naturally in the lake, but the stocking program, which has been done every other year has contained fewer and smaller fry. The DNR will be stocking again next year, and is considering larger Walleye fry, and I hope to be able to tell you that there will be more of them stocked as well. One thing that I did not know was that the major preditor for Walleye minnows are Cisco. These are the very same fish which walleye eat as their main forage fish when they get big enough. Our Cisco population is healthy, and a high percentage of what the biologists call Walleye larve are preyed upon by Cisco. This is the reason that The DNR is considering using larger Walleyes to stock with. If the Walleye minnows are too large for the Cisco to eat, more Walleyes will survive to adulthood. The question will be of coarse, how many will they give us? Again, we will know a lot more about the state of our Walleye population after the release of the data from the YOY survey this fall. Ned I’ll post Ned’s reply. Interesting.

Fish were so scattered I didn't even try luring the 'eye into the boat after a couple unsuccessful evenings. Zero walleye over the opener. Zero later in June and early July...gave up. Found a few crappie in June and some nice northerns. This year I found a few more nice sized perch than I remember but I may have focused on them more as the smallies seemed to be smaller this year. Haven't landed a musky yet this year but not too much energy spent on 'em. My question. What is happening to the walleye? Are they all getting speared? Have they quit reproducing in Tomahawk Lake?

I would like to see an increase focus on the fishery by the Association. While Eurasion milfoil control is important there are other aspects of the lake that need attention. I spoke with John Kubisiak the last 2 years and have the results of this year's study. As a member I am willing to help in any way I can with the fishery. Can the Association designate a portion of their funds to increase the number of large fall fingerlings the DNR is able to stock each year? LET me know what I can do.
