SUMMARY:November's Practical Water Wisdom focuses on the importance of lake associations
DESCRIPTION:How can lake associations bring lakeshore owners together to protect their lakes and prepare for growing challenges? \nThat’s the question to be addressed on November 5 at noon CT\, as Itasca Waters and Minnesota Sea Grant present the final Practical Water Wisdom webinar of 2026. \nThe hour-long session features leaders from three successful Minnesota lake associations. They’ll share what their organizations are doing to monitor and protect their lakes\, advocate for their future\, and engage lakeshore owners. \nThe panel will also discuss challenges facing lake associations\, including declining volunteer participation\, aging leadership\, limited resources\, and limited authority to address many problems. \nAttendance is free\, but registration is required.

SUMMARY:MGLP Lake Conservation Series: Walleye stocking success in the Midwestern USA - November 17
DESCRIPTION:Robert Davis & Daniel Isermann discuss factors involved in walleye stocking. This study evaluated stocking success of Walleye in lakes and reservoirs across the Midwestern United States to inform stocking practices for state agencies. Demand for Walleye stocking may increase if climate change limits the potential for natural recruitment in lakes. Consequently\, the strategic distribution of Walleye stocking may maximize fishing opportunities. Latitude and year explained relatively little variation in stocking success compared to within‐lake variation. Relative abundance of Largemouth Bass was an important indicator of Walleye stocking success for fry and fingerlings\, with stocking success generally decreasing with increased bass abundance. There was an interaction between lake surface area and growing degree‐days\, as large lakes (>2500 ha) seemed to be more conducive to Walleye stocking success regardless of growing degree‐days. The models that we developed did not accurately predict exact levels of Walleye stocking success but were 92–94% accurate in predicting whether the stocking success of both fry and fingerlings would be at or above the 50th percentile. These findings may help to inform the management and stocking allocation of Walleye and suggest that future increases in Largemouth Bass abundance and growing degree‐days could limit the effectiveness of stocking in some lakes. \nRegister here for this event.
