The Fish Stocking report has been updated again!

Looks like several of the community ponds got stocked with 10 - 12 inch Lake Trout a couple weeks ago.
Deer Creek got a ton of catchable sized rainbows.
Strawberry got a TON of cutts and rainbows (around 5").
Native Cutts were stocked in several places throughout the state.
Wow, some cool info in there. Thanks for posting Cat.
I’m always amazed at the number of trout that are planted throughout the state. Do they not reproduce well on their own? Are they mostly harvested by fishermen, or do alot of them get eaten by other fish? The numbers planted in Strawberry alone are incredible.
Some stocking programs include an enormous number of fish because of the high mortality of the planters. A lot become food for the larger fish that are already established in the specific body of water.
It is a fish feeding excersize when the planters are small like fry or fingerlings. Some do survive to become large fish and even reproduce, but most of the planters that people catch were stocked as larger fish to begin with.
