The walleye fishery at Glendo kept humming right along in 2003.
Although the overall numbers of walleye are not nearly as high as they were in the early 2000s, there were still plenty of walleye in 2003 (Figures 1 & 2).
Compared to 2002, the percentage of walleye over 18 inches has decreased. This is a result of the very strong year classes from 1996-2000 moving out of the population.
It is great to see the number of walleye in the 12-14 inch range in 2003; these fish represent the future of walleye fishing at Glendo and the future looks good.
With the high number of large walleye through 2002, yellow perch numbers had really fallen off. In 2003, yellow perch made a strong comeback. In 2002, we caught a dismal 0.4/hour compared to 5.7/hour in 2003. Yellow perch not only provide a fishery but they are also an important food item for walleye.
Channel catfish remain the most underutilized game species in Glendo Reservoir. The average catfish in our gill nets in 2003 was 20.2 inches and weighed 3.2 pounds. The largest we caught was 29.4 inches, 10.8 pounds. Give catfish fishing a try in 2004.
