Lake Champlain walleyes get a big boost from Vermont Fish & Wildlife stocking changes
Published: , in Outdoor News
Fisheries biologists are using innovative changes in how young walleyes are raised to improve the walleye population and fishing in Lake Champlain.
The new tactic being used by Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department has significantly increased the size of walleye fry, improving their chances of survival after they are stocked in the big lake on the New York and Vermont border. The new method has been used for about seven years, and Chad Lambert, president of Lake Champlain Walleye Association (LCWA), said the improvements in the fishery are already being seen.
