  • Walleye locations for November 26th are indicated by red dots (View image). Maximum depths of fish locations (View table).
  • Walleye locations for November 10th are indicated by red dots (View image). Maximum depths of fish locations (View table).
  • Walleye locations for November 5th are indicated by red dots (View image). Maximum depths of fish locations (View table).
  • Walleye locations for October 30th are indicated by red dots (View image). Maximum depths of fish locations (View table).
  • Five recovered tags were reimplanted on October 22. The implantation table at the bottom of the page has been revised to reflect that.
  • Walleye locations for October 20th are indicated by red dots (View image). Maximum depths of fish locations (View table).
  • Walleye locations for October 16th are indicated by red dots (View image). Maximum depths of fish locations (View table).
  • We conducted 24 hour tracking October 9th through October 10th on fish 643 and 783. Fish 643 did not move a lot during the 24 hour period (View image), Fish 783 moved a little (View image).  
  • Walleye locations for October 6th are indicated by red dots (View image). Maximum depths of fish locations (View table).
  • Walleye locations for October 1st are indicated by red dots (View image). Maximum depths of fish locations (View table). Water temperature has cooled to about 70 degrees and it appears the thermocline is breaking up.
  • Walleye locations for September 24th are indicated by red dots (View image). Maximum depths of fish locations (View table).
  • Walleye locations for September 17th are indicated by red dots (View image). Maximum depths of fish locations (View table).
  • Walleye locations for September 10th are indicated by red dots (View image). Maximum depths of fish locations (View table). Lake temperature has dropped several degrees in the past week and fish seem less restricted by water temperature.
  • We conducted 24 hour tracking September 3rd through September 4th on fish 704 and 783. Fish 704 was located in the Fairfax boat marina and did not move a lot during the 24 hr period (View image), Fish 783 also did not move very much (View image). I also included depth contours on these maps.
  • Walleye locations for September 2nd are indicated by red dots (View image). Maximum depths of fish locations (View table).
  • Walleye locations for August 25th are indicated by red dots (View image). Maximum depths of fish locations (View table).
  • Walleye locations for August 18th are indicated by red dots (View image). Maximum depths of fish locations (View table).
  • On August 11th we discovered fish 204 and 424 below the dam in the spillway. This makes 5  walleye that have gone through the dam. I organized a table with the status of fish (View table).
  • Walleye locations for August 11th are indicated by red dots (View image). Maximum depths of fish locations (View table).
  • Walleye locations for August 4th are indicated by red dots (View image). Maximum depths of fish locations (View table). We searched the upper end of the lake and discovered no new fish.
  • We conducted 24 hour tracking July 31st through August 1st on fish 504 and 523. Fish 523 moved considerably during the period (View image), while 504 did not move as much (View image). I also included depth contours on these maps.
  • Walleye locations for the week of July 28-29 are indicated by red dots (View image). Requests have been made of depths where the fish have been located. Maximum depths of fish locations (View table).
  • Walleye locations for the week of July 22-24 are indicated by red dots (View image). Requests have been made of depths where the fish have been located. We can not tell exactly the location of the fish in the water column but I have provided maximum depths of fish locations (View table). Fish no longer have access to flooded timber and many have moved out to flats.
  • For the period of July 14-18 we located 2 fish (tag 523 and 764) daily (about 10 am) to see how much movement occurs on a day to day basis (View image) (View image).
  • Walleye locations for the week of July 14-15 are indicated by red dots (View image). Dropped tags (343, 684, 823) were recovered this week and will be reimplanted in the fall. Additionally, tags 384 and 843 were also expelled, but are still in water and will be recovered as the water continues to drop. These 5 tags were excluded from this weeks map and will be until they are reimplanted. Unfortunately we can not tell when the tags were dropped.
  • Walleye locations for the week of July 10-11 are indicated by red dots (View image).
    Several fish were found out in open water (fish 603 and 724). As the water drops we will be attempting to recover dropped tags (tag 343 and 464). Hopefully we will reimplant these tags into new fish in the fall. Water profiles show that little to no oxygen is present below 18 ft.
  • Walleye locations for the week of June 30-July 2 are indicated by red dots (View image).
  • Walleye locations for the week of June 23-26 are indicated by red dots (View image).
  • We conducted 24 hour tracking June 24th and 25th on fish 483 and 663. Fish 483 moved considerably during the period while 663 did not move as much. The movement data for fish 483 is provided. The first map is the the whole area the fish moved (View image), while the second map is a zoomed view of concentrated relocations on the treed point near Fairfax beach (View image).
  • Walleye locations for the week of June 16-19 are indicated by red dots. Walleye are being located in flooded timber. Note that fish 464 has moved up into the flooded timber of Saddle Creek (View image).
  • Fish 444 was caught and harvested on 6/7/2008. The purple star indicates the original capture site of the fish on 4/16/2008. The implantation surgery was conducted at the Salt Creek ramp and the fish was released there (blue star). Red dots indicate walleye locations recorded using telemetry. The green star indicates the approximate location of harvest on 6/7/2008 (View image).
  • Relocations for the tracking period for walleye 403. Also a fish that has moved considerably. (View image)
  • Relocations for the tracking period for walleye 204. This fish is an example of how much these fish can move week to week. (View image)
  • Walleye locations for the week of June 9-12 are indicated by red dots. (View image)
  • All relocations up to June 5 (View image)
  • Walleye locations for the week of June 2-5 are indicated by red dots. Tagged walleye were found in areas of maximum depths ranging from 7 to 15 ft (View image)
  • Walleye locations for the week of May 28-29 are indicated by red dots. (View image)
  • Walleye locations collected during 24 tracking on May 22-23. Blue dots indicate locations collected on May 22 while yellow dots indicate locations on May 23.  (View image)
  • Walleye locations for the week of May 19-21 are indicated by red dots. (View image)
  • May 12-15 are indicated by red dots.  (View image)
  • Walleye locations for the week of May 5-9 are indicated by red dots. Original tagging locations are indicated by blue stars. (View image)
  • Walleye locations for the week of April 29 - May 1 are indicated by red dots. Original tagging locations are indicated by blue stars. Three fish were located below the spillway on April 25 (Radio code 264, 323, and 623). Two of these fish were tagged on April 1 while the third was not tagged until April 16 but all fish were originally tagged at the dam. (View image)
  • Walleye were tagged in three different locations: the dam, causeway, and Saddle creek indicated by blue stars from March 31-April 16, 2008. Red dots indicate walleye locations during the week April 21-24.  The upper end of the lake (causeway to Salt Creek) was not tracked during this week (View Image).
