The Iowa DNR is in the midst of intensive walleye broodstock collection and spawning, a major effort that takes place each year to ensure high-quality walleye fishing across the state. Fisheries Bureau management, research and hatchery teams, along with some dedicated volunteers, join forces to collect hundreds of walleye, which produce millions of eggs. Walleye eggs are incubated at Rathbun and Spirit Lake hatcheries and stocked as fry or fingerlings throughout Iowa.
Watch the video to see the process at Lake Rathbun and the Rathbun Fish Hatchery.
