Abstract

Walleye are native to the fresh waterways of Canada and the United States. This paper details the needs and life cycle of the walleye, and compares that to the current conditions offered in the Drag Rive. It also gives a good account of the finished and proposed enhancements, how to prevent shoreline erosion, and stabilization on the Drag River, as well as sampling protocols for walleye in all stages of life.
