Walleye

Walleye continue to concentrate in the Western basin of Lake Pend Oreille and near the Sandpoint bridges. Tracking walleye allows fishery biologists to learn more about walleye distribution and movement.  It also provides information to help anglers better target walleye and participate in the angler incentive program.

Idaho Fish and Game continues to track acoustic-tagged walleye in Lake Pend Oreille.  This allows fishery biologists to learn more about walleye distribution and movement.  It also provides information to help anglers better target walleye and participate in the angler incentive program. A map is available to see walleye locations and specific numbers recorded at each receiver. 

Another Idaho angler has won $1,000 in the Lake Pend Oreille walleye lottery. Doug Lambrecht of Sandpoint caught his reward-tagged walleye while fishing shallow weed beds along the northern lakeshore during mid-July.
