Oh, and I have observed firsthand that my walleye like to snack on small 1-2" BC. I would hang out on the dock watching the BC mill around when a WE would sneak under them and drop the count by one in a flash. The BC would swim in fast circles in the same area afterwards, and you could almost see then scratching their heads saying "now where did Fred get off to now??"

I went from quite a herd of 100 plus babies in late summer to a few dozen before the fish went deep.
