Theres good news for St. Joseph River walleye fishermen.
Fall surveys conducted by the Indiana DNR last month revealed better-than-average success of fish stocked by the DNR and the Michiana Walleye Association in 2011.
Biologist Neil Ledet spent October evenings cruising shallow river areas between Elkhart and Twin Branch dams with electro-shock equipment looking for one-year-old fish. The fish were temporarily stunned, captured, counted, measured and released.

Just when we thought the steelhead run might be drawing to a disappointing close, here comes another slug of fish.
Bodine Hatchery Manager Dave Meuninck said about 275 steelhead pushed through the South Bend ladder last week, renewing hope that perhaps a good run might be salvaged after all.
Of the 275 trout recorded going through the ladder from Oct. 23-30, about 40 percent were Michigans winter run variety and the rest were Skamania, the latter of which should have been here a month or more ago.
