Pond Boss Forums FISH & FISHING Fly Fishing & Other Fish Species Walleye

Walleye will do well in ponds if lots of forage items are available. A existing abundant predator group in the pond will reduce the chance of walleye surviving. Best survival is with fewer other predators especially LMbass. If there are bass present it is best to stock the larger sizes of 7"-12" for better survival. They rarely get larger than 24"-26" in ponds. Walleye generally stay slender until they are around 15" which is why they are good food for bass. Don't ever count on them to eat pellets. Walleye are very difficult to pellet train.
