I know you need a permit from the DNR and I know of DNR certified DNR hatchery is. My question below. 1) Would DNR allow walleye to be stocked if they are not natural? I have caught some walleyes, but I do not believe they are natural to to the lake. 2) how hard is it to get a permit? costs? 3) Any experience setting up lake association? i assume that might be helpful to get alignment with the six landowners If i should haves posted in a specific forum let me know....didn't see a logical one.
