Stocking May Boost Walleye Numbers on Saganaga Lake
This spring, the Minnesota DNR is stocking Saganaga Lake on the Canadian border with 4.5 million walleye fry. Sag, as the lake is known to most anglers and paddlers, produced Minnesota’s record walleye 30 years ago and is arguably the state’s top trophy walleye lake. Shared with Canada, the U.S. side is within the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, although motors are allowed on a portion of it.
