Fall 2015 Lac Qui Parle Lake Walleye Stocking!
Stocking of young of the year walleyes on Lac Qui Parle Lake this Fall. Fish measured 7-9" in length. Bottom left pectoral fin is clipped. Please continue to watch for these fin clipped fish in the years to come. LQP Lake Association has a goal to stock 25,000 walleyes. To become a member of the LQP Lake Association go to www.lqplake.org and download a membership form.
**We would like all those fishing Lac Qui Parle Lake to keep an eye out for fin clipped walleyes being caught. If they have a fin clipped on the bottom left of the fish, they were stocked as a young of the year fish. Please let us know if you catch any of these fish, by emailing minnkotatackle@yahoo.com.
Thank You!
This photo was taken last year during fishing league weigh-ins. All three fish were 14", fin clipped and caught by the same team.
This is a photo from October of 2015. Notice that these stocked fish have the opposite fin clipped as the 2014 fish that were stocked.
