walleye club

i've only caught one walleye and i would really like to have more of an opportunity to catch them.

I understand your love for walleye Backin. But we can't, and shouldn't, try to force our love of a fish to be in all of our favorite waters. Some of the more southern NYC ressies have walleye (I know you don't like these waters). Sodom, Bogs Brook, Diverting, Boyds Corners, and now they have spread to West Branch. And they are forecast to spread to Croton Falls as well. Add in Oscawana Lake and Lake Mohegan, and that gives 7, possibly 8, waters just in Westchester/Putnam Counties to choose from.

I honestly wish I still lived in southern NY for the fishing. I found it to be much better than up here. The trout, smb, and lmb are much bigger down there. And from my limited experience with walleye up here, southern NY walleye are bigger as well. (Of course I'm not talking about the Great Lakes and such. Just Saratoga County.)

The northern NYC ressies, as you are more than well aware, are AMAZING trout waters, and I definitely wouldn't try to change them in any way.

You guys trust me on this, a few thousand a year walleye stocking program in the pepacton in in no way going to hurt the browns .. if anything sm are the agressors in which they were blamed for eating all the bait in the neversink a few years ago causing thinner fish in which i remember,, they're footballs once again in the nev. i can understand small nev and roundout as being small.. As for the natural reproduction.. walleye were native in both shokan and pepacton before the introduction of browns. Both reservoirs without a doubt are big and deep enough and would certainly benefit the fisheries and sportsfishing enthusuists from all around. Plenty of room and bait for a walleye stocking program. They say the introduction of the bait sawbellies released by fishermen were the main cause for the  ashokan native walleyes drop in numbers. That allong with fishermen taking resulted in less chances of catching an ashokan walley. I think it is time the state considers a walleye stocking program for at least the ashokan and pepacton reserviors. The trout will do just fine especially knowing they're stocked anually.. walleye would bring an extra bonus to fishermen.
