Place is crawling with walleye. I've watched them spawn a lot. I think the fluctuations in the lake kill the eggs. I firmly believe they would reproduce if the lake didn't fluctuate 10' right after they spawn.

EWC likely knows better than me, but I think the walleye spawn

The hoop nets on the Clinch may have a bearing on walleye reproduction.

One of the hardest parts of catching walleye here is to not be directly upstream of a net stretched from bank to bank. It's a big deal, they'll have scouts on the roads watching for the wardens and assembly lines to run all the fish up the hill fast. You basically just have to let all those guys fill their freezers and be done with it then the legal fisherman can catch what's left. TWRA tries enforcement but you can't beat the locals teamed up together, they'll have grandma and grandpa watching the roads and the kids helping haul, just how it is.
