Stock year - number of stocked fish surviving to adulthood based on 1% fry survival (based on some Minnesota lakes that are probably less harsh of an environment then sak) and 10% fingerling survival rate
2017 - 116822 (76,822 assuming 0% fry survival)
2016 - 153685 (133,685 assuming 0% fry survival)
2015 - 179110
2014 - 248595
2013 - 427822
2012 - 402633
2011 - 249085
2010 - 400095
Sakakwea stocking efforts appear to be on a 5 year down trend.
Fry stocking started in 2016 with 2,000,000 and 4,000,000 in 2017. If the fry experiment doesn't work on Sakakawea we would be down another 20,000 adult surviving fish in 2016 and 40,000 adult surviving fish in 2017
How many years will it take to know if the fry survived? is the fry experiment worth slowing down our system? Does the G&F think there are too many walleye in the system?
Thoughts?
