Broodstock Salmon Stocking

Winter 2011

Broodstock salmon stocking began the week of December 12 and will be complete by the end of the week. This year, each district received 60 fish, all from the Division of Fisheries and Wildlife's Roger Reed State Fish Hatchery in Palmer. The fish range in size from 5 to 18 pounds, with an average weight of about 10 pounds each. There will be no broodstock salmon available from the White River National Fish Hatchery in Bethel, Vermont, this year due to the extensive damage to the hatchery from flood waters caused by Tropical Storm Irene earlier this fall.
