| 16" walleye caught - Our new benchmark!
Doug Lawman with the first 16" walleye caught in Lake Sarah since the stocking program was initiated. Doug caught the new record on August 6, 2011 on a Mepps spinner cast from his dock eclipsing the 15" walleye caught by his son a few weeks prior. Congratulations Doug! The Lake Sarah stocking program is entirely funded by contributions as the Minnesota DNR has to date declined to assist, anyone wishing to contribute to the walleye stocking program should contact any Lake Sarah Improvement Association Board Member for information.

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 and 2011! 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!
