Summary

During a July 23, 2003 second seining, Wildlife Club volunteers found seven additional healthy walleye. The Club planned to plant rye, condition the pond water earlier, and oxygenate it for the next year’s rearing effort.

Evidence limits

The report documents a small follow-up catch and intended improvements, not a full survival estimate.
