It has also been surmised that they do better in smaller environments and in warmer water than walleye. My greatest interest is in how they will grow in a cage and if I can feed train them. So those are things I’d like to observe. It’s one of the few species that hasn’t been dealt with a lot in small ponds so i hope to find something they can contribute, or a niche they can fill that other fish can’t.


I actually caught a saugeye when I lived in Ohio. Decent fighter, though not to be compared with a HSB. Absolutely delicious.

Would love to find out if my BOW could sustain a small population.
