Stocking history

Year	Species	Size	Number	Pounds
2024	Walleye	fry	106,493	1.0
2023	Walleye	fry	226,455	1.9
2022	Walleye	fry	112,500	1.0

Field note · Minnesota stocks by year, not by truck day: walleye fry go in within weeks of ice-out, fingerlings and yearlings mostly in fall, and stream trout in spring and fall. A row here means the fish went in during that year; DNR adds the year's rows after the fact, so the current year can look empty until winter.

Black bullhead	Standard trap nets	597.25	2,389	0.19
Brown bullhead	Standard trap nets	0.25	1	1.00

Catch per net (CPUE) is the DNR survey's count per gill net or trap net set; higher means more of that species were sampled, not a fishing forecast. Top species per gear shown; where we have no verified common name for a DNR code, the code itself is shown.

ALL, OR NEARLY ALL GAMEFISH WERE LOST TO WINTER- KILL IN EARLY SPRING OF 1989. AS IS TYPICAL, BLACK BULLHEADS APPEAR TO BE THE PRINCIPLE SURVIVORS.
