Walleye netting season starts for Iowa DNR fish hatcheries
Crews with the Iowa DNR Fisheries Bureau will set gillnets at night in traditional areas looking for walleyes that are ready to spawn. This time of year, hatcheries operate into the early hours of the morning as local staff bring in the nightly haul well past midnight. As fish “ripen,” the eggs are removed from the walleyes and the fish are returned to the lake where they were caught to make room for the next night’s catch.
