I don't have any experience hatching walleye. In the Northern lakes that I fish that have rivers flowing into or out of them, walleye spawn both in the lake itself and in the rivers. I don't know of any that spawn in small streams. Like the paper said, that may be to ensure that a successful spawn is accomplished because the weather may inhibit one area from a successful spawn.

As to the rock size, I have no idea.

If the goal is to have annual recruitment in the pond, I don't know if rolling the dice on correct habitat or annual stocking of fingerlings would be more reliable.
