North Dakota Game and Fish De-
partment fisheries personnel are
gearing up to stock a record number
of walleye lakes this year.
Fisheries production and develop-
ment supervisor Jerry Weigel said 20
years ago approximately 50-70 wa-
ters were stocked annually with wall-
eye fingerlings, with the number of
waters growing to 100 in the early
2000s. This year, 156 waters are
scheduled to receive a share of 9 mil-
lion fingerlings. "The growth in wall-
eye waters is directly correlated to
the number of public fishing waters
we manage," Weigel said.
In 1988, Game and Fish managed
160 public fishing waters totaling
99,098 acres, not including the Mis-
souri River System. Today, Weigel
said the department manages 415
waters and 345,988 acres, excluding
the Missouri River System.
"This has put a lot of pressure on
the two federal hatcheries in the
state, Garrison Dam and Valley
City," Weigel added. "We need every
