I've always dreamed of fishing for pike and walleye locally rather than spending great deal of time and money to travel north  to Quebec or Ontario.  Now Moore offers trophy pike fishing.   Next should be trophy walleye fishing!!   That was my hope when Vt. and NH biologists offered a public proposal to stock walleye in the twelve mile long Moore Reservoir.  That was two years ago .   Because the local TU chapter didn't like the idea of stocking "non-native fish"  and ruining the ecosystem NHF&G have spent two years sampling all aspects of the system.   

At 6:00 PM on April 18th NH & Vt. will present a summary of their finding and again discuss the walleye project.   Gabe Gries will represent NHF&G
Jud  Kratzer will represent VtF&W.   Anyone in favor of the walleye stocking must show up or contact Vt. or NH  biologists.   I'm sure that the local TU  chapter will be there to offer a biased presentation. 

As good showing might convince the biologists that Moore Reservoir could be a great fishery for bass, pike and walleye.   It would be like bringing a small piece of Canada to NH and Vt.

I hope to hear that a large number of fishermen are interested in this great fisheries project.

Twenty years ago it was nothing to catch  25-27 inch browns and rainbows out of Moore. It is near impossible to do that today,TU is worried about walleye eating the trout when the pike have already done it !  :)Maybe the pike will eat the walleyes also but it is  worth a stocking effort to see if  the walleyes  return.

bring the walleye to Moore dam and you will bring the fisherman back   not many trout left there Big Pike  trophy class.

stock them in dunmore too.

The ice fishermen are there now, I have never seen so many vehicles at the boat landings as this past year. Folks love the pike fishing.

I've always caught pike every spring when going after walleye. They don't hang together in the summer usually, but fall, winter and spring they're in the same water.

I hope they do their homework.
Carmi  was a failure..

I think they should put walleye back into Waterbury. They used to do well there.

[Bailbuster]

Carmi is just over fished..........

What the heck does TU think brown and rainbow trout are??  Browns are native to Europe and rainbows to the west coast of North America.  The only salmonids native to the Connecticut River are brook trout and Atlantic salmon.  To be fair, walleye are native to Vermont but to the St. Lawrence River watershed (including Lake Champlain), not to the Connecticut River watershed so they are an alien species there, but so are brown and rainbow trout.

Green River Reservoir would be another place walleye might do well in.

Jud Kratzer wanted to stock Norton Pond with walleyes too. I'd love to see that happen!

Looks like the "professionals" chose non-native trout over walleye just because some trout have spawned there... I wonder what kind of bribes TU got away with.
