I wonder in the begging of this topic if you dont have the horse before the cart. Has any one caught or seen a walleye caught form Rire. Or is it hear say? I was born and raised in Ashton and have fished most of the streams. I believe from looking at these postings of your precious kokes, your planter trout and small perch and for it not being a fertile lake maybe we have a over population probelm and a worthy preditor fish like an eye is just what you need. If you could catch a walleye and eat it then you would throw rocks at trout. And who ever reported catching a walleye out of Rire I wonder if they know the difference between a walleye and a northern pike minnow. Talking to the regional fish bioligist most reports of a walleye being caught in the Snake river or any other tributaries is not a walleye but a northern pike minnow. AKA: Squaw fish.
