Walleye season opens May 4 on Iowa’s Great Lakes
Published: , in Outdoor News
The 148th walleye fishing season officially opens May 4 at Iowa's Spirit Lake, and East and West Okoboji lakes.
“Walleye sampling this spring shows a very robust and healthy population,” said Mike Hawkins, fisheries biologist for the Iowa DNR. “Iowa Great Lakes experienced a record setting early ice out date. Ice duration also set a record with the lakes iced up for only 50 to 58 days, 20 days shorter than any other year since 1916 when record keeping began. Water temperatures remain on a normal trajectory for a good opener.”
