| The result of prior years stocking effort! A healthy 13" walleye caught in June 2010 and released by Jen Howell. |

Following several years of privately funded (no assistance from the MN DNR) walleye stocking, reports of walleyes being caught started coming in. A few small unconfirmed reports in the summer of 2009 followed by a wave of walleye catching stories in 2010! Below is a compilation of reports received by the website and photos provided. Anyone catching a walleye in lake sarah is encouraged to report the size of the fish and date of catch to this website (email). Photos of the catch will be published if provided.
The lake Sarah Walleyes, lake Sarah Improvement Association, and contributing citizens encourage release of all walleye caught until such a time as the population can build to a sustainable level.
Thank you to all those who have contributed to the stocking fund and to those who have actively worked to bring the walleyes back to lake Sarah!

June 25 report from Mario Crespo - caught a small Walleye on June 25th, just
southwest
of the channel. It was only about 12" long but it looked very
healthy (put up a good fight for a little guy).
June 18 report from the Howell's - I just wanted to let you know that my wife
caught another 13" walleye tonight, 6/17, at about 9pm. It was
caught at the same place as the other two. I forgot to mention in
my last e-mail what they were caught with. The first two were
caught with an orange mister twister. Today's was caught with an
orange/yellow swim'n grub.
June 16 report from the Smeby's - Kraig Smeby
caught & released a 7" walleye on
Memorial weekend.
June 9, 2010 report from Joe Slavec - Just wanted to let you know the signs
of success are showing up! In addition to the 12" walleye I caught on the opener morning -
my friend's young kid caught one a week later, I caught 4 over the
weekend with my Dad, Fred Lang Jr. reported catching one yesterday,
and Bob Beadle told me of a friend of his who caught one all in the
period of 2 weeks. They are all in the 10-12" category although Fred
Lang Jr. claims his was a little bigger.
Walleye
Opener success!
