There are both YP and eyes in some Texas - reservoirs. SMB in more Texas lakes and in Tenn. / Miss /Ala and north. Ponds in Texas are a different story as they would have to be deep , large and aerated. Not only would they require deep cool water but it would have to be non-stratified with good DOs.

Distribution
The walleye is native to the central portion of North America from the Rocky Mountain to the Appalachian Mountain chains, ranging as far south as Arkansas, Mississippi, and Alabama, and as far north as Great Slave Lake, the Mackenzie River and the Peace River in northwest Canada. Introductions have extended the range beyond the Appalachian Mountains in the east, to the Columbia river in the west, and as far south as Texas. The species has been stocked in several Texas reservoirs.
Other
High summer water temperatures restrict walleye growth and survival in much of Texas. However, in the north Texas lakes, such as Lake Meredith, the species does very well. Six-to-eight pound specimens are common at times. The state record comes from Lake Meredith and stands at 11.88 pounds. Walleye is considered an excellent food fish from Texas to the northern states.
