Hello Walleye Anglers,
Ok, it’s time to start thinking about those fall Bay of Quinte Walleye. I am, once again, seeking your help with our 2017 Bay of Quinte Volunteer Angler Diary Program (Walleye). If you would like to participate this year, please respond to this email and let me know. For those of you that respond, I shall send out a Diary package in the mail in a week or two. If you are already fishing, please let me know and I’ll send you a diary straight away. If you know of an avid walleye angler that may not have participated in past years, please pass along this email and encourage them to contact me.
If you have not seen the report on last fall’s 2016 diary program, it can be found on page 97 (Section 2.5) in our 2016 Annual Report available at:
http://www.glfc.org/lakecom/loc/mgmt_unit/.
Thanks very much for your help, it is much appreciated.
UPDATE FOR 2017: For your interest, I have attached a “postcard” describing our work to track Walleye movement in the Bay of Quinte and Eastern Lake Ontario using acoustic telemetry technology. This is a partnership project with Queen’s University. So far in 2017 we have tagged 36 mature walleye. If you catch one of our acoustic tagged walleye, please consider releasing the fish; the battery life of the acoustic tags is 5 years.
