GOOD STUFF!

That's fantastic. In a passing conversation with a fellow angler at Milne Dam Park in Markham, I learned that Walleye used to be abundant there as well.

Another angler told me that walleye used to outnumber bass in the Kawarthas.

I wonder which factor contributed more to their decline: not being as hardy as bass or people keeping every single walleye they caught.

I've yet to catch my first walleye!
