The Minnesota Walleye Alliance has participated in a number of projects dedicated to enhancing the Walleye fishery and exposing people to the outdoors.  Below are a number of the projects we have been involved in.

	The Minnesota Walleye Alliance, along with the MN DNR, worked to reclaim a pond used to raise Walleye fingerlings.  The pond had become over-run with rough fish including bullheads which are detrimental to harvesting the fingerlings in the fall.  Walleye Alliance members set, checked and emptied nets used to capture the bullheads and separated the  walleye into holding pens which were later stocked into area lakes.
	Fishing Has No Boundaries (F.H.N.B.) is a non-profit organization whose goal is to open up the great outdoors for people with disabilities through the world of fishing.  The Walleye Alliance sponsored a guide boat for use during this event.
	The first annual Camp Confidence Walleye Classic was a great success.  The MN Walleye Alliance donated to this event.  Many members of the Walleye Alliance participated by using their boats and guiding.
	This year, the MN Walleye Alliance, the MN DNR and the Brainerd Jaycees joined forces to make this years event catch-and-release.  With the group effort, we were able to successfully release about 30 percent of the fish caught.  Walleye Alliance members supplied release bags filled with water to keep the fish alive while the participant wait in line at the weigh scale.
	The MN Walleye Alliance purchased a prototype cannon used for hatching walleye fry.  The cannon has been an improvement over the current system.
