As a former Midwestern I'm comfortable saying if trout could survive in the lakes there walleye would not be so "prized". I fished walleye for over 30 years and I enjoy a good walleye fish fry but trout fight harder and are great table fare as well. To put a little more perspective on it one of the most anticipated fishing days in the Minneapolis area was when trout were stocked in the only area lake that could support them. Small spring feed deep little lake that would be wall to wall boats for a month. Given a choice between a day fishing for eyes or trout I'd pick trout.
