Minnesota DNR wraps up walleye egg wrangling
When entering the annual season of the Minnesota DNR’s walleye egg take, it’s never certain at the start how many will come from a particular location because it’s a moving target, depending on how productive some spots are compared with others.
“If things are going better with one strain of egg take than with another, we might take more eggs at that location,” said Paula Phelps, the DNR’s fish production supervisor. Phelps pointed to this year’s success with the Lower Mississippi strain of walleyes from the Cannon River, Knife Lake, and Lake Sarah.

Panfish, walleyes pack one-two punch in Minnesota’s Myrtle Lake
When you consider fishing in the Orr area, Pelican Lake usually comes to mind, and for good reason. It’s a large body of water (over 11,500 acres), with exceptional multi-species fishing opportunities. Pelican draws anglers and vacationers from across the country on a year-round basis.
But there’s a much smaller fishery just to its east that shouldn’t be overlooked. Myrtle Lake, which is almost 900 acres in size, also provides the opportunity to bag multiple species.

Drained a century ago, central Minnesota’s Butler Lake restored to benefit waterfowl
During the past decade, Ducks Unlimited has partnered with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and Meeker County officials in central Minnesota to restore 66-acre Butler Lake. The lake, which once spanned 200 acres, was drained over a century ago through a concrete subsurface tile.
“After the lake was drained, the lakebed was carved up and the land was distributed accordingly to each bordering landowner,” said USFWS Project Leader Scott Glup. “When the old tile started to fail, Meeker County partnered with DU and the USFWS to design and build a new water-control structure on the lake outlet to restore water levels.”
