Do walleye reproduce in Lanier? Thanks. I was too lazy to Google.

I have no idea Ambush....I've caught a few on drop shot and spybait but know nothing about them.

I doubt it, at least I doubt they do to the extent of replenishing the population. I'm sure some are successfully. It seems like I read somewhere that some walleye are stream spawners and some are shore spawners, with our reservoirs having the levels low in early spring when they would be spawning, then filling up in spring , this could cause an issue with eggs, at least that's what I read I believe it was In a North Carolina sportsman magazine.
Yes they reproduce up the river. I have talked with a move in yankee that catches the snot out of them every year. My dad caught one back years ago on a all white Colorado blade spinner bait that was almost 9lbs and he brought it home and ate it. He was mad at himself when I showed him it would have been a new lake record lol....... Pretty much every spring he catches one or two on that same style spinner bait for some reason they like it.

They used to stock them 30+ years ago in Hartwell. We still catch a few here and there. Tells me that they do spawn, just not very successfully.

Do any get caught up chestatee? I know they run pretty far upstream around here out of hiwassee lake, but don't seem to run upstream up nantahala, I don't get it?
You know I don't know........ Dad always catches his in the spring around the Gainesville Marina area. That guy I spoke with always fishes up the hooch.

I'm actually under the impression that they reproduce passable well in Lanier.
The people I know from up north who know how to catch them generally go home with some when they put their mind to it.
Just seems like we don't have a solid base of patterning catching them in reservoirs with conditions similar to ours

I don't know if any get caught but I've seen some nice ones above the 19/400 bridge.

I have caught them along bridge pilings with 1/4 oz. lead 1" & 2" grubs jigged. The colors that worked best was red, pink, green, white and black. They can be at any depth not just on the bottom. They seem to mostly hit when you pull up and then let fall. They hit on the fall.

PS: I would jig straight down within 3 feet or less from the piling.
