    Did you know what it was when they caught it and have you ever seen any others?

    I noticed the difference in color right away. I had heard of blue walleye but had never seen one. After some research and asking around on the interweb I realized how rare it was...

    Do you think it was a stocker or natural reproduction.

    I'm thinking natural........

    At any rate, that is COOL.

    With the introduction of the alewives in the 70's the walleye population declined and over the next 4 years there was no new 'eyes shocked up in Dale. There has been a stocking program In place ever since. Mostly Erie golds.

    "The last blue walleye caught in Lake Erie by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources was in 1965."

    What is this - the Harry Potter version of fishing for Canada???

    Why.........there is a really good chance it was a stocker, and ever MORE a chance it would never breed or drop eggs.......

    OK.......I take it back.........I may have taken it to the DNR to confirm, or something..

    If it is a true blue, it is more than rare, and probably could have/should have been studied.....

    I don't know the details so I won't make any assumptions.

    BTW........the story about the Dale fish is now in the Wiki article on Blue Walleye.
