LAKE DELAVAN, Wis. --
A fisherman made a rare and surprising find in Lake Delavan this weekend: blue walleye.
It's the southern-most sighting of the fish since they were removed from the lake in the 1980s as part of the carp eradication project.
The lake was later restocked with walleye, but officials didn't know if any of the new inductees were blue walleye.
The fish were found earlier this month and returned back in to the lake.
