"Walleye" is a signed open edition print, printed on 115 lbs. acid free white card stock. The strong image is printed on 10" x 8.5" pure white surface to accentuate strength, contrast and power of individualism.
Walleye (Sander vitreus, formerly Stizostedion vitreum) is a freshwater perciform fish native to most of Canada and to the northern United States. It is a North American close relative of the European pikeperch.
The walleye is sometimes also called the yellow walleye to distinguish it from the Blue walleye, which is now extinct in the Great Lakes and critically endangered elsewhere. In some parts of its range, the walleye is also mistakenly known as the colored pike, yellow pike or pickerel (esp. in English-speaking Canada), although the fish is related neither to the pikes nor to the other pickerels, both of which are members of the family Esocidae.
Genetically, walleyes show a fair amount of variation across watersheds. In general, fish within a watershed are quite similar and are genetically distinct from those of nearby watersheds. The species has been artificially propagated for over a century and has been planted on top of existing populations or introduced into waters naturally.
I have many fond moments fishing Oneida lake for walleye. From ice fishing to hot summer days wading in to waist deep to capture this great tasting fish.
