Wheeler Branch is literally across the street from my house. Small(200 acres), deep(85’) clear and cool weed filled waters. Still has a few left over walleye and smallmouth survivors. “A few”. Probably the best walleye opportunity south of the Red River but I wouldn’t go “target them”. Head up 287. Plenty of Panhandle lakes have Walleye populations. Heck, when I was a kid there was a big billboard at Cypress Springs heralding the lake as “Home Of The Walleye”( another taxpayers “FAILS”!!) in the late 70’s/early 80’s.

There's a good population of walleye in Lake Meredith north of Amarillo.

I asked TPWD about future Walleye stockings at PK, since they stocked them in the past. I was hoping for something that would stay in the lake if we get floods and the flood gates open, as the stripers head for the ocean once they feel the current. TPWD said no more Walleyes in Texas, as they had to buy them from Colorado and they are expensive. I think it's a shame as I think they might do well in some of our lakes especially PK.

TPWD did stock some smallmouth in PK and I am seeing them in the shallows already.
