Badger Lake Question

[old dog]

Not sure what kind of population of walleye there is, but they are definitely in Badger

[Lefty-Canuck]

from what i know walleye do not spawn in badger, it just gets what walleye get over the spillway.

...and it holds a good population of perch

Correct no spawning come in from canals, so few and far between....
Better off with travers for retention

I completely disagree that they do not spawn in there. A few years ago we were fishing where the inlet canal came in and there were tons of small fish swimming in a big school below the spillway. We thought they might be a small minnow species so I scooped some up in a net and saw that they were baby walleyes and immediately released them. It was really cool to see them so small.

Very well may be the case I hope so, however I was going by what co's informed me....
