Despite the high fishing pressure, catch rates were down for both walleyes and saugers, Talmage said.
The winter survey wrapped up earlier than planned when warm temperatures brought a premature end to ice fishing on the big lake. Typically, winter creel surveys on Lake of the Woods continue through March, Talmage said.
Phil Talmage, area DNR fisheries manager, Baudette, Minn.
“Our season got cut off kind of abruptly,” he said. “That’s probably enough to account for why it was down just a titch from last year.”
Still, pressure remains “very high,” and the vast network of plowed ice roads, many of which extend 20 miles or more onto the lake, means the DNR will have to adjust the way it conducts winter creel surveys on Lake of the Woods, Talmage said.
Statewide, the DNR met its quota of 4,400 quarts of walleye eggs, Drewes said. There are about 120,000 eggs in a quart, he said.
Egg-taking operations were closed to the public this year as part of the DNR’s COVID-19 safety measures.
Persistent cold, windy weather for much of April resulted in “grueling” conditions for fisheries workers, Drewes said, but crews were able to meet the DNR’s statewide stocking quota, which included 500 to 600 extra quarts of eggs to make up for some of last year’s lack of fry stocking.
“It’s been a grind for the spawning operation with all these weather changes and the cold weather, but the good news is we achieved our quota,” he said. “We were not anticipating the success we had. At any day in the game, we weren’t sure we were going to get to the finish line.”
