I've caught 2, my buddy caught one fishing with me, and several over the years. The 3 I personally have seen came from White River, and he's caught a fair # out of Meredith and Greenbelt.

Used to catch some in OC Fisher (aka North Concho) near San Angelo. They were stocked there back in the 70's and got up to about 3-4 lbs in size. Good fighters and great eating. Never reproduced and with the lake going down think they were fished/died out. Never heard of anyone catching them last few years I was back there.

Fellows, here is the story on North Texas Walleye from TPWD a few years ago. Walleye have been stocked in several Texas lakes back in the late 70's and most of those survived to some extent. However the water temp does not get cool enough in winter time for them to do their thing, so no spawn therefore they did not survive. there is a few lakes that may be the exception including the West Texas waters such as Meredith, which is known for its Walleye. My reason for checking on them was I fished for walleye in Nebraska, before moving down here and they are a well sought after fish for the quality eating. But I have found none so fare where I have fished. You can find em in Oklahoma in Lakes such as Fort Cobb and Altus and most all lakes north of there, but very rare in North Texas. But with the invention of the Hybrid Striper, I have quit worrying about the Walleye fishing.

Caught 2 on Belton years ago. I don't think there any left now and they only stock it once. I ate some in Canada and they sure are good eating fish

I saw my Dad Catch one in Bridgeport once and Eagle Mountain once when I was a kid. He died in 1985 so it was over 24 years ago when they were caught. Probably 82-83
