Walleye Anglers Examined


A Ministry of Natural Resources study gives anglers some credit in keeping walleye stocks healthy in northwestern Ontario.

Researchers looked at the habits of anglers in 157 walleye lakes.

One of the studies authors, Len Hunt, says it did prove lakes close to anglers do face fishing pressures

The study also disproved a theory that anglers target the best lakes until fish populations go in decline.
