Walker Lake, NV....
Under the Entomology Forum, below, there's been an interesting discussion about aquatic insects in Pyramid Lake that made me wonder about the current state of Walker Lake. In case you haven't heard of it, Walker is southeast of Carson City and is a natural sink for water from the Walker River. It is one of the bodies of water in Nevada that was originally part of Lahontan Lake. It's waters are, also, alkiline; even more than Pyramid. Apparently, Walker is managed by the State of Nevada which predicted some time ago that the lake had a limited period of viability as a fishery due to increasing alkilinity.
Does anyone know if there's a current fishery for Cutthroat left in Walker Lake???
