Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose Interesting hybrid walleye information to pass on

Bill/David - I posted this unaware that Saugeye and Hybrid WE were the same creature. Here's my post would appreciate any feedback:

Okay guys - question for the experts regarding the Saugeye. Saugeye is a WE/Sauger hybrid with limited reproduction capabilities that combines benefits of both species. Retains WE ability for growth [they can exceed 10 lbs IIRC] but are tolerant of both warmer and more turbid waters ala Sauger.

Seems there could be a niche fileed by them in midwestern and southern ponds in my inexperienced estimation. I know of several E NE reservoirs that have been successful with SE stockings and they are all warm and on the turbid side. What are your impressions?

The main problem I see is availability via hatcheries - I've never seen them advertised. Bill - David - Eric - Cecil et al....bet you have some light to shed here. I'm interested in them and would be willing to experiment in the main pond with your blessings...
