Walleye stocking in Apache

AzWalleye · April 23rd, 2011, 10:42 PM

AGFD stocked 1.5 million Walleye sac fry in Apache Lake on April 11
The sac fry were flown in from a hatchery in Pratt, Kansas.

Anyone involved with injecting these lakes with bass and walleye due to the fish kill has my admiration. I know the walleye do not reproduce in these desert lakes so a population of them is pretty much due to G&F and AzWalleye. Thanks to all of you. It's always a nice little bonus to nab a walleye or two when I hit Apache.

Jerry, just out of curiosity, I'm not catching the numbers of walleye at apache this year as I did a year ago. They seem smaller this year, too. Does that sound like normal for this year?

Yeah. This time last year, they were all over crank baits. Haven't caught a single one this year. Now and again I see a school of fish on the esonar that I take to be walleyes.

I think putting them in Apache is cool, but why not bolster their populations in lakes where they do reproduce....places like Lake Mary or Ashurts...just a thought...

Cause they would piss off the trout fishermen.

Never been to Apache. Wondering how the road is if I go all the way through Payson and over to Rosey then down? I hear that's the safest and fastest although longest! Any recommendations?
