Minnesota stocking report
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) · data as of 2026-09-02 · history

- 2,517 Minnesota lakes have a page here; 1,954 of them carry a DNR depth-contour map, and most carry the DNR lake survey (species, catch rates) and public access list.

These are the 30 most-stocked waters. Browse all 2,517 Minnesota waters with logs - every water with at least 2 recorded stockings gets its own page.
What this page is: a mirror of Minnesota DNR LakeFinder stocking reports and lake surveys - nothing more. We do not predict stockings, and agencies sometimes stock unannounced or change plans. Official page: https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/lakefind/index.html.

Minnesota stocking questions
Does Minnesota announce trout stockings in advance?
Not here. Minnesota DNR records stockings by year on each lake's LakeFinder page (species, size class, number and pounds), and the year's rows appear after the fish are in. Use these pages for a lake's long-term pattern and its depth, access and survey data; DNR's own LakeFinder is the word on regulations.
When does Minnesota stock trout?
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) posts on this cadence: annual per-lake records - DNR posts each year's stockings to LakeFinder after the fact. Season: history only; walleye fry go in April-May, fingerlings in fall, trout mostly spring and fall.
How soon after a stocking is the fishing good?
Most anglers do best from a day or two after the plant through the following two or three weeks. Fresh fish hold near the release point at first, then spread out and start feeding more naturally. There is more on this in our guide to fishing after a stocking.
Where does this data come from?
Directly from Minnesota DNR LakeFinder stocking reports and lake surveys - the agency's own posting. We link the official page and publish the same rows as CSV.
