Wisconsin and Walleye

The Wisconsin Walleye Initiative was developed by the DNR and the Office of Gov. Scott Walker to increase the number of walleyes in state waters by expanding production of large fingerlings for stocking in waters accessible to the public. This historic investment in Wisconsin’s walleye fisheries will benefit all users and Wisconsin’s angling-related economy. Read about the Initiative and much more in the February issue of WNR magazine.
