Just catching up on some reading and noticed an article in Ontario Out of Doors titled "A Blue Mystery". Seems Dr. Wayne Schaefer, University of Wisconsin, is looking into the mystery of blue walleye. They have been spotted in Red Lake and Ear Falls area.........Have you seen any?
The blue hue is a result of walleye secreting a protein through the skin giving the walleye a blue color. Why the walleye secrete this protein remains a mystery and research is continuing. If you are interested in reading more about the study or seeing photos of a blue walleye, check out http://wayneschaefer.blogspot.com/
If you have seen a blue walleye while on Red Lake, Dr. Schaefer is interested in hearing from you and you can contact him through this site above.
