Pond Boss Forums Thread Like Summary - Saugeye info

I didn't want to litter the crappie thread with saugeye discussion, but was curious for you to fill us in on your knowledge of saugeye. Examples..... Do you have experience with them feed training? Do they handle turbid water well? Do you know of anywhere for a private pond owner to get his hands on some?


Edit: title changed

I agree with Dono, walleye will spawn and eggs hatch in ponds that have the best conditions for walleye reproduction. This means low turbidity, low silt, low biochemical oxygen demand(BOD) water, usually coarse rocky shoreline, good wind exposure so wave action mixes fresh oxygenated water into the shoreline rock areas and relatively low numbers of egg eating crayfish, panfish, & large minnows. Then if any eggs hatch they as 3/8" feeble swimming, long, slivers have to have enough proper sized zooplankton to eat and keep from getting eaten by small fish. The the next sizes of invertebrates have to be available to feed the growing post-larvae, then fingerlings who then need small newly hatched fish fry as food.
