Caught this one a few weeks back in the fingers. Very skinny and little meat to be had. Clean white meat and normal organs just totally empty stomach and appears to have not been feeding for many weeks.

Just had a talk with Steve LaPan (fisheries biologist) and he said another walleye was found upriver with this problem. He is hoping these are isolated cases and not a widespread issue. None have been found in their netting research. He thinks the SLR walleye population is thriving but not a great deal is know about where they are spawning on the river. Anyone have any ideas on possible upriver spawning sites other than Black River and Chamount River?
