Walleye
Sander vitreus
For walleye and saugeye, no minimum length limit. Daily bag limit = 5 in any combination; only 2 may be less than 16 inches long.
Identify your catch
Two separate dorsal fins; the forward fin is spiny. Yellow-brown to greenish body with darker mottling and a pale belly. Lower tail lobe has a pale tip; teeth are conspicuous.
Habitat on Greenbelt
Rock, sand, aquatic plants and flooded timber provide habitat, especially in the creek arms.
Fishing approach
Lake guide guidance: TPWD suggests jigs or minnows around timber for crappie, small lures or live bait fished slowly near rocks for walleye, and shad-like crankbaits or baitfish for white bass.
Fishing guidance describes documented approaches, not a promise of fish activity today.
No active lake-specific advisory or possession ban was named in the reviewed DSHS directory. This does not guarantee that fish are safe to eat.
Harvest permission and eating restrictions are separate.
General species guide
Adults mainly eat fish. Walleye are most active at night and spawn in early spring, scattering eggs over suitable substrates.
