2019 Walleye Spawn Update IV

Water temps on the rise
By Fort Peck Reservoir biologist Heath Headley
The weather has remained stable in the Big
Dry Arm area of Fort Peck Reservoir and water
temperatures have really warmed since the last
update.
Water surface temperatures are now ranging from
50 to 57 degrees throughout our trap netting locations.
It appears these warmer water temperatures have really
kicked walleye spawning activity into high gear.
Most trap nets seem to be catching decent
numbers of walleye, but there are definitely some trap
nets that have been more productive than others. In
fact, one trap net captured 24 ripe females, 12 green
females, 13 males, and 8 spent females (released
eggs) in one day. It appears we have neared the peak
and may actually be headed on the downhill slide of
things based on some of the high proportion of ripe
Karla Geda hanging on to a big female walleye collected
females and more spent females starting to show up. from one of the trap nets. photos by FWP
The high numbers of
ripe female walleye have
allowed us to collect a
good number of eggs over
the last several days. We’ve
held three more egg-takes
since the last update which
will give us another 14
million more eggs. This
should bring the total to 52
million eggs. It looks like
we’ll continue our efforts
throughout the week in
hopes of gathering a few
more eggs, but it’s quite
possible things could start
winding down in the near
future. Chelsea Headley transfers a green female walleye to the holding pens.
