![]() From Wyoming Game & Fish The walleye fishery continues to be strong at Glendo Reservoir. We caught nearly the same number of walleye in 2002 that we did in our 2001 netting sample. Average length of walleye in 2002 has increased from about 15½ inches in 2001 to over 19 inches in 2002. However, the lack of small walleye in the sample indicates poor recruitment. In fact, we found fewer 1 year old walleye in 2002 than in any other recent year. ![]() ![]() Yellow perch numbers have really decreased, so if you want to catch perch, Glendo is not going to be your hot spot in 2003. With walleye numbers and sizes remaining high in 2003, yellow perch numbers may not improve until walleye numbers decline. Channel catfish are in great shape in Glendo, but other species like crappie, both black and white, and largemouth bass are scarce. With the high walleye population in recent years, reproductive success of these species has likely suffered. A new boat ramp was built in late 2002 near Bennett Hill. The quickest way to reach the ramp is by going through the Airport Bay tollbooth. This ramp will be usable most years after the Elkhorn Ramp has gone dry. |
