The Red Lake walleye stocks have recovered, and Red Lake Fisheries is again processing fillets after more than 10 years.
The plant began accepting fish in September, but Sean Rock, fisheries manager, said the plant has only processed about 2,000 pounds so far.
“I probably expected a little more than that, but weather access slowed things down,” said Joel Rohde, Red Lake Nation Foods manager. One of the delays was a heavy snow covering thin ice making the lake surface slushy, he said.
