Well, irrigation demands and rising/falling waters will make a big difference. I have read articles about fishing Walleye in the Mississippi where the water fluctuates six feet in an hour due to raising and lowering locks. I'm not positive, but I havent heard of that happening on any of our reservoirs due to irrigation demands
The fact of the matter is that Walleye do not mean the death of a lake or reservoir. They need to be managed different than Trout. Thats it. And they need to be managed by someone that can make changes as changes need to be made. Here in Utah, that aint gonna happen because of the politics involved.Thats why hatchery pets are so good for our slow to react DWR. Not that its the fault of the DWR, its just a fact that they need to ponder things for a few years and talk the politicians into any changes. Not the best thing for managing predators of any kind.
