[QUOTE="Wildyote, post: 89881, member: 2259"] First of all most of the walleye eggs that are laid in the river portion of the Missouri (Huff to Tailrace) do not hatch. This is caused by water not warming fast enough in the portion of the system. This is a fact as you can talk to any of the fisheries biologists about this and they will tell you that. The fish that perform a successful spawn run up the Knife, Heart, and Cannonball rivers. It is all about spawning conditions with consistently warming waters and stable to rising waters to pull of a successful spawn. The Game and Fish does not need to harvest eggs from that many females to stock all ND waters with walleye fry because they have optimum spawning conditions in their hatchery. The catch and release fisherman harm the fishery more than the fisherman that takes the first 5 walleyes they catch and go home. I also read on this site that a guy was catching walleyes in 30-40 ft of water which little does he know when he throws these fish back they die from their air bladder blown up. As soon as you get to 30 ft the atmosphere in the water changes ask any diver. [/QUOTE]
