Walleye, the holy grail of game fish: on catching them,
understanding their biology and history, and ensuring their
survival Among the more than 34,000 species of fish, few have the
walleye's following-among anglers and diners, states conferring
official status on the fish, and towns battling for recognition as
the Walleye Capital of the World. And among those passionate fans,
few know the walleye as well as Paul J. Radomski does-a fisheries
biologist, lake ecology scientist, and old fisherman. In Walleye: A
Beautiful Fish of the Dark he unspools the mysteries of this
fascinating fish. Radomski looks at walleye from every angle, with
something to say to the curious naturalist, committed ecologist,
and avid fishing enthusiast. People who view walleye as the "lion
of the lakes" might be surprised to learn that rivers are their
ancestral habitat. Some might wonder about the name "wall-eye," a
nod to an evolutionary adaptation to dark water environments.
Others might simply ask: why walleye? What are they, where do they
exist, how do they survive, and how have people come to depend on
them? Radomski discusses the principles and pitfalls of managing
this predator of the twilight (and the history and methods of doing
so) and shares his informed perspective on when and where stocking
is prudent. Finally, he explores three of the best walleye lakes:
Winnebago, the largest inland walleye fishery in Wisconsin, and
Mille Lacs and Red Lake in Minnesota. From the simple pleasures of
fishing for walleye to the most pressing questions about how this
species survives, this book is the best word on this beautiful fish
of the dark.
