Stocking history

Year	Species	Size	Number	Pounds
2024	Walleye	fry	575,000	5.2
2022	Walleye	fry	500,000	4.5
2021	Walleye	fry	575,000	5.3

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.
