Consider limiting the number of anglers or the harvest size, on lakes near the thermal thresholds for walleye, or other...
Limit or prevent invasive fish species that compete with walleye. Remove or control invasive fish species.
Reduce non-climate stressors like pollution and fishing pressure on walleye: expand the restoration or enhancement of riparian buffer zones around...
Enhance or restore riparian vegetation in degraded areas to protect water quality and temperature.
Explore landscape water retention projects to protect habitat against extreme runoff events and low flow/high temperature events (e.g. increase and/or...
On regulated streams, pulse flows during critical times (e.g. lower flows coupled with high temperatures), sourcing from lower in the...
Improve enforcement of fishery regulations.
If summer water temperatures in a lake remain < 28C (82oF) in the hypolimnion for consecutive years, consider the lake...
If surface water temperatures in a river remain below a certain threshold (e.g., < 30C (86o F)), continue with walleye...
