¹ fish purchased and stocked by private citizens and sporting groups.

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.

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.

GROWTH AND SURVIVAL OF STOCKED BROOK TROUT AND SPLAKE APPEARS TO BE GOOD. THERE IS A GOOD SIZE RANGE FOR SPLAKE REPRESENTING STOCKINGS FROM 1988, 1985 AND POSSIBLY 1984, AND BROOK TROUT REPRESENT- ING STOCKINGS FROM 1987 AND 1986.
