Large female walleye lay approximately 26,000 eggs per pound of body weight.
Less than 1 in 10,000 survive to adults under perfect conditions.
A 21″ walleye produces on average of 100,000 eggs and is 10 years old.
A 25″ walleye produces on average of 150,000 eggs and is 16 years old.
The season closes on April 15 this year to allow them to continue their amazing life cycle.

good info, what do you think is the average age of the adult walleyes we,ve been eating all these years?
Hi—this is Ryan from Okoboji, IA. It would be nice if you have more pictures of your cabins because my wife would like to see more details if she is going to “rough” it up there.
Where can I find a contour map of the lakes?
Thanks!!
Ryan
