• Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks, and Tourism Fisheries Division - by Craig Johnson



    I wore my GoPro to work while working walleye at Milford reservoir the first week of April. Each spring we collect Percid broodfish to produce fertilized walleye, sauger, and saugeye eggs for our hatchery system. Unusually clear water conditions this year at Milford allowed for some very unique views of our Kansas walleye. This was my first attempt at capturing such fishy type footage with a GoPro. I hope to do some more in the future. I know they aren't CRAPPIE, but I thought you might enjoy it anyway!!

    The Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks, and Tourism Fisheries Division annually collects wild broodfish to supply the Department hatcheries with fertilized Percid eggs for production of walleye, sauger, and saugeye to meet statewide stocking demands. The following video shows collection of wild walleye broodfish at Milford reservoir.
