Nolin Walleye

[jfw]

Man is there any wallies left?? I have trolled a good deal this year and have caught a bunch of other species but only 1 walleye and he was maybe 13 inches ? What has happened to all those Eyes we used to catch in the early 90's .

We would catch them Bass fishing all the time . Have they been over harvested? Do they still stock the lake ?? I am scratching my head for sure

I don't believe they stock them any longer, and they don't really spawn effectively...

Under those conditions, I would think they are over harvested.

Actually, according to this link, they still do stock walleye in Nolin........it sure too a little effort to find out though

Been catching a lot of eye's this year at Nolin. It's just 1 keeper right at 15ins to 5 shorts!!! I called. They are still stocking the lake. But I really really think it's the mennonites and amish............... You see them out on the points and islands fishing for walleye's and they keep everyone.

I never have much luck catching them in the lake. A few here and there. Ive done well early spring fishing for them in the headwaters. I actually see alot of people catch them. Right place at the right time i guess.

Interesting!! Are you pulling crankbaits or are you using bottom bouncers / harnesses??

The Amish fish every single day for them and keep everything. I don't think nolin can support that and produce good ones. Not sure about in the 90s though. Did they fish the way they do now?

[restornator]

i don't think the Amish should benefit from our tax dollars. however, there's no way they can fish them out themselves. I caught several last year on my spot. they will not bite at night when the lake gets heavy boat traffic and clouds up the water

Was down again today. Pulling cb's. Had 7 walleye's and two keepers....... I'm done until the fall. Time to hit up the small river fishing!

Now the lake to figure out for walleye is green river lake. It's got biggins!!
