When fast action and excellent taste matter, it s hard to find a better fish than the walleye. Although Indiana isn t widely known for an abundance of walleye waters , the Hoosier state does offer some fabulous walleye fishing in a number of natural lakes, reservoirs and rivers.
Anglers pursue walleye more than any other DNR-stocked fish.
Surveys indicate that of the nine fish species stocked by the DNR, walleye is No. 1. While the walleye is native to Indiana, its natural distribution has been limited. As a result, the DNR Division of Fish and Wildlife stocks some lakes and rivers to provide walleye action for anglers. One of the earliest recorded walleye stockings dates back to 1891. The DNR began stocking walleye in 1970.
