PRATT — As table fare, walleye are at the top of most anglers’ lists. They are not only tasty, but they grow large enough that a few fish can feed a family. (The state record walleye is more than 13 pounds.) As spring weather warms both water and air, walleye fishing heats up, too. Walleye move over shallow points, flats, and underwater roadbeds to feed in May and early June. While fishing from a boat is the preferred method, walleye can be caught at this time by wading. Look for fish in water 3 to 15 feet deep.

Some streams could not be stocked until late March. As a result, state hatchery employees held these fish in the hatcheries longer than normal. Because hatchery trout are fed regularly under ideal growing conditions, the state’s trout program now has additional poundage of trout for stocking. According to Wildlife Resources Section Chief Curtis I. Taylor, “This additional poundage means it will be a banner year for the state’s trout anglers.â€

The fishing wasn’t phenomenal, or even good by Cranberry Lake standards, so I consider myself lucky to notch the Northern New York grand slam last week in only about 12 hours of fishing.
