Here’s a super cool opportunity to check out the Walleye, stripping cut foot lake in the Deer River area!

Walleye spawn take update from Doyle Hass, Assistant Area Supervisor | Division of Fish and Wildlife:
Dock construction will continue Thursday and Friday, and we plan to put the webbing in on Friday. If all goes well, we should start seeing fish on Saturday.
This year’s quota is just under 600 quarts, and we expect to run through Tuesday. Because the Grand Rapids hatchery is still under repair, our local eggs will be hatched in Bemidji or Cass Lake.
We are also participating in a delayed fry hatching project, which means a small portion of the eggs will be collected about a week later than usual. The dock and webbing will stay in place during that time, but the trap will not be operating for a few days.
Our quota has not increased — part of it is simply being collected later than normal. Thanks for following along with this year’s operation.
