Not many people know that walleye are native to the Mobile basin.  Several state records were caught in the lower Tallapoosa below Thurlow.  I have never heard of anyone catching a walleye from Martin, even though it appears to be a good lake for them.  The DCNR has started a walleye rearing program, and I would not be surprised to see a stocking effort in Martin in the future, especially if they get fat on bluebacks.  If you do catch a walleye, call the DCNR to see if they still need brood stock.
