Bill,
You've got a point there. I have enough trouble getting yellow perch to stay on pellets in my .62 acre pond chiefly because they are bottom oriented and light shy. I do think the same would be true of walleye -- possibly even more so. Of course the fact that there is other food available, and they have to compete with largemouth bass I'm sure is factor.
Putting feed trained walleye in a small pond with no othe food source that has a deep water santuary on one end would be the test. Too bad I don't have another pond and another source doesn't come up.
Maybe if we can't get any perch from Lynch this year, and a source for feed trained walleye comes up, we could pick them up on the way to Bruce's. We could tell Bruce they're Lake Erie perch that look different than regular yellow perch until they get to be about 2 lbs.
We'll play dumb when he figures it out and has no more bluegill left.
