If surface water temperatures in a river remain below a certain threshold (e.g., < 30C (86o F)), continue with walleye management. If surface water temperatures reach above a certain threshold (e.g., > 30C (86o F)), re-evaluate walleye management practices, examine thermal refuges, and consider management of warmer water species like northern pike or smallmouth bass.
