Biologist says first-ever walleye stocking in Elkhart River doing great./>Biologist says first-ever walleye stocking in Elkhart River doing great.An experimental walleye stocking by the Elkhart River Restoration Association (ERRA) is paying off.

St. Joseph River biologist Daragh Deegan, who conducts river studies for Elkhart and South Bend, said this summer’s on-the-water work has shown remarkable success from the initial stocking two years ago.

In the fall of 2012, the association purchased about 3,200 6- to 8-inch walleyes from a Wisconsin fish farm and released them into the Elkhart River.

Deegan’s surveys this summer not only have unveiled quite a few walleyes, but several over the legal length of 15 inches and a few were pushing 17 inches.

Could we just show each other a little respect?

That was the thought that came to my mind when I received an email recently from a reader who questioned the values of other anglers who don’t share similar interests.

More importantly, or so it seemed, he questioned the ethics of anglers who use heavy lines and “drag in fish without a fight.”

“A light line and nice, light rod is a real challenge for good fishermen,” he wrote.
