The Division of Wildlife’s 2018 trawl found 112 walleye per hectare (about 2.5 acres.)  That’s the second-highest number on record and far above the 20-year average of 27 walleye per hectare in Ohio waters.  Ohio biologists conduct about 40 trawls in the Western Basin.

Initial reports from trawls conducted by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources & Forestry in Ontario waters showed similar results.  In fact, Richard Drouin, lead management biologist with OMNRF, said they’re more than happy with the results.

“Walleye numbers for us based on our survey are at an all-time high,” he said. “We sampled 36 sites on our side and we use the same protocol as Ohio.” "

This just pertains to Lake Erie, the numbers seem to indicate to me that one poor spawn shouldn't affect the population too badly, but you still hope for the best?
