Headwaters Basin Chapter Walleyes for Tomorrow

WFT is a project-oriented organization with the goal of increasing the population of walleye in the waters where habitat projects are undertaken.

About Walleyes For Tomorrow

The mission of WFT shall be to work with other clubs, agencies, and the DNR to improve the quality of walleye and sauger fishing. This may be achieved by, but not limited to the following goals or methods:

• Water quality and habitat improvement
• Construction and/or improvement of spawning areas
• Spawning protection
• Stocking
• Studies and research
• P

romotion of selective harvest and/or catch and release
• Awareness and management of aquatic ecosystems to achieve a balanced fish community
• Education and public awareness of issues important to the resource
• Other methods and activities that may have a positive effect on the improvement and stability of walleye and sauger production. Walleyes For Tomorrow will help provide the needed resources to achieve the above through fund-raising efforts and by recruiting volunteer labor where possible.

Our Walleye Wagon had great success on the first day

69 degrees, full sun with a light breeze.. I don't remember what water temp was- that should be written down in the hatchery though.
We spawned 91 walleyes last night -32 females and 59 males.

Including the fish spawned, we took DNA samples from 110 fish. The 19 fish that we did not spawn were between 8" - 12.5" in length and the s*x was unidentified- these could potentially be walleyes that were from our hatchery in previous years.

85 Hard Females were netted and returned to the spawning beds.
We collected an additional 56 male walleye that were not used and were also returned to their spawning grounds.

We handled 251 walleyes last night in total.

Thank You volunteers !!!
We couldn’t do it without you!!
