Hello Walleye Anglers,
2018 Bay of Quinte and Eastern Lake Ontario Volunteer Walleye Angler Diary Program.
Ok, it’s time to start thinking about those trophy Bay of Quinte Walleye. I am, once again, seeking your help with our 2018 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 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.
This year, in addition to Bay of Quinte anglers, I am encouraging anglers that fish for Walleye in eastern Lake Ontario and the upper St. Lawrence River to participate in this volunteer diary program.
If you have not seen the report on last year’s 2017 diary program, it can be found on page 89 (Section 2.3) in our 2017 Annual Report available online at:

UPDATE FOR 2018: 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 Freshwater Fisheries Conservation Lab. So far in 2017 and 2018 we have tagged over 100 walleye. If you catch one of our acoustic tagged walleye, please consider releasing the fish and reporting back to us. The battery life of the acoustic tags is 5 years. A report on the acoustic telemetry project can be found in our 2017 Annual Report available online at:
