O.k. PEACE! Being a past kwa member,Duckman has made my opinion a bit more clear. Im not trying to chastise anyone for keeping fish. I do appreciate the efforts of our kdwp employees as well. Didnt intend to start an entire page of ----slinging. Good fishn to you all of you!

A fish taken is a fish taken, IMO doesn't matter if it's spawn, summer or winter it is still removed from the water. I love to catch and eat fish. Not very good at it but enjoy them and hope every one else does also. You should never feel guilty about keeping a fish during the spawn or any other time of the year. Best of luck to everyone on there fishing adventures this year.

i have to agree it doesnt matter what time of year the fish is taken its now out of the gene pool. I would agree ahut down the dams and let them spawn if it was a matter of them being easier to catch durning the spawn but from what i know its easier to catch them after the spawn when they move to the flats. I like eatting walleye and will keep them when ever i can x
catch a legal fish.

Sorry not trying to start a war, its just opinion. I do fish during the crappie spawn and the few that are kept are the males all colored up in black. Just trying to do my part of conservation. Like I said, maybe its wrong, irs just opinion.

Not trying to add fuel to the fire but it's my understanding that you should keep the female crappie during the spawn since it's the males that stay on the nest and protect it.....sounds like WOMENS LIB in the fishing world and as far as the walleye spawn it is so hard for me to catch one that if I'm lucky enough to pull one in it'll be going in the frying pan....they are the fish of 10000 casts for me during the spawn and standing on the rocks in the dark has limited my trips to almost nil

Oklahoma Dept of Wildlife also nets ripe females from Canton Lake, until this year, and fertilizes them with males. This provides us with the necessary stockings. Our boys are now harvesting females from Ft Supply this year because Canton has been drained by Okla City. I believe we may swap fish with your Dept. Our annual goal is over 6,000,000 eggs.

For most anglers I believe this is the "Ultimate Goal". I only hope is if you keep them, they are eaten. The whole program was started for this very reason, but like anything else, when money becomes attached to something it is corrupted.

I don't think KDWPT mind if we fish for walleye during spawn......
