Fried Walleye, Montana Style

By stuffing legislators with fried walleye before their Thursday vote, members of Walleyes Unlimited of Montana hope to re-write the science books and declare the fish a native species. Trout Unlimited is having none of it. “‘Designating walleye a Montana native would be like legislating that the sun rises in the west,’ says Trout Unlimited, a national conservation group. ‘We’re baffled that they are trying to suspend natural history,’ said Bruce Farling, Trout Unlimited’s Montana executive.” Susan Gallagher of the Associated Press.
