or near the Tongue River (185 river km upstream) . The large number 

 of walleye recaptured at Intake in a subsequent spring suggests 

 that walleye home to this spawning area. 



Overall, 6 times more walleye tagged at Intake were recaptured 

 downstream than upstream. The average recapture distance 

 downstream and upstream was 207 and 160 km, respectively (Table 

 17). 



The vast majority of walleye present at Intake in spring are 

 residents of Garrison Reservoir in North Dakota. The tag returns 

 from this area were fish caught by anglers.
