Sylvan Lake in Canby and other small kids ponds in western Minnesota are being stocked with keeper-size walleyes by the DNR. Ortonville Area Fisheries staff manage 45 rearing ponds that they stock with fingerlings in the spring and net in the fall to stock area lakes. However some walleyes escape the nets and quickly grow large in the managed ponds. DNR staff decided to stock these in small ponds near towns to give youth exciting fishing opportunities and hook them on angling for life. The Prairie Sportsman crew is out with DNR staff at night in an electrofishing boat used to capture larger walleyes, then at Sylvan Lake where youth help bring nets full of walleyes into the pond, and they talk with the DNR’s Kyle Anderson and Canby anglers Cayden Anderson and Zack Hansen.
