Abstract

Walleye and yellow perch are important sport fish species in Spirit Lake ranking third and second in harvest surveys. Maintenance of a productive walleye and yellow perch fishery, which has intense angler pressure, is dependent upon continual development and eventual recruitment of year classes into the fishery. In turn, year class abundance is dependent upon the extent and magnitude of natural production and/or supplemental stockings of larval and juvenile fishes, and survival through critical life stages. Previous walleye studies at Spirit Lake have for the most part concentrated on adult populations. Population estimates were made in 1947, 1954, 1961-63 and 1967-72.
