[QUOTE="camoman, post: 27529, member: 571"] My opinion here, if it's a brand new lake (never had fish before, or has dried up and refilled since the last stocking) typically will take about 2.5-3 years to find 14-15 inch walleyes (there are exceptions). Lakes that are continually stocked with fish and have numerous species (walleye, perch, pike, etc.) it's a lot tougher to try and put a guess on when they will start really producing fish because the forage spectrum is so much more complex. What's made the fishing so great in ND recently on a lot of these smaller water bodies is the fact that fish are stocked for multiple years and they eventually overcome the populations of forage fish. When you get that crash, fishing gets really crazy good and it can last for 1-1.5 years or it can last for a month, depends on a number of factors. [/QUOTE]
