the walleye run on the lake has been a great 1 so far this ice season, my main concern is, we are not catching anything under 18 inches,this leads me to believe that in a few years the run and catch will be over unless the state keeps the program going....... time will tell
-
I agree, a few more years and all the hogs will be taken out or dead of old age. I hope the state will continue the walleye stocking this spring to keep this fishery alive and well. They do put a hurting on the shad population too.

Great news Keep us posted. Pictures are worth a thousand words!
-
Hmm I didnt even know grand lake had eyes in it. Id love to come up and get a few if anyone would be willing to show a guy the ropes???
-
Ya keep us posted I would make the drive for some good fishing,would like to see sportsman direct while im there
-
I did post pictures of the fish I caught on the lake..... no pic but I did see 1 walleye in the 30 inch range come out of the ice

It will take awhile before the fish die off and they put 13 million fry in the lake so if 25 percent of they lived that's a lot of walleye to catch. I heard they were going to stock more next year that came from a wildlife officer. I've noticed that all the fish look fat and healthy that's a plus. The shad hatch this year was amazing.
-
the actual number of fingerlings put in is 52 million
-
Does the state post the number of fry/fingerlings they stock every year? I know they usually post the numbers at wildohio.com, but I would like to keep a history of when the stockings were made and how many 'eyes.

Thanks for the article from the daily standard

Great find Wapak Ice Dawg. Are there any other stocking records for more recent years? I know the reporter that wrote that article in 2003 and I am a subscriber to The Daily Standard.
What I would like to know is when were the last stocking of walleye done and how many fry/fingerlings?
I found perch stocking of 100,000 took place in 2012 and 2013, but found nothing about recent walleye stocking. I searched Bing.com and the wildohio.com sites.
