I had several walleye encounters sometime around 1975-1980. A guy fishing with me at Ray Hubbard caught about a 3# walleye while sand bass fishing out in the main lake. A few years later I caught a small one at Lake Palestine. I also caught a Sauger in the river below Texoma. Despite some of the stocking failures, I do wish they would get serious about a little smallmouth stocking. I have caught some nice ones in Texoma and Ray Roberts the last two years and it would be nice to see them continue to prosper.

I caught ONE in Ray Hub around 1975. I don't think they did well due to the warm water temps in the summer. Never heard of any others being caught there. We used to catchem on cb's and jigging spoons, they used to stack up close to the ridge at party cove and the levee between 30 and 66. They lived long enough to reach 9 lbs. then disappeared. Never saw any floating during that time or any other time.

The only ones I heard caught in Lewisville was by the old party cove area by the 35 bridge.

tpwd was still figuring things out with stocking in the 70's. we had tiger muskie here too but those fish are long long gone... You sure it was Tiger Muskies and not just Muskies? Tiger Musky is the cross between a Northern Pike and Muskellunge. Would be a little surprising to me if they chose a subspecies that is more particular about cold climate (Northern Pike) than straight Musky. um, yes im sure. spent over a decade working with tpwd...

Weird you ask, a couple years ago I was fishing next to the Lake Park GC. It was pretty calm out and I noticed what appeared to be a long slender fish about 14 inches just under the surface, creeped up within a few feet and thought to myself "that's a freaking walleye" wouldn't have believed it unless I saw it.

I have caught logperch in the castnet on Lake Lewisville and they do have a walleye appearance although I've never seen one that big. I'm still waiting to catch a monster Nile Perch stocked back in the 70s. https://tpwd.texas.gov/fishboat/fish/act...0&Submit=Go

My mom caught one while trolling for sand bass about 40 years ago. We were not sure what it was at first but it sure had a mouth full of teeth.

I had a friend in high school that caught 2 at Lake Worth on the same trip. Only time I've ever heard of them being in there.
