Broodstock Salmon Stocking
January 2013
Hard water anglers across the state will be able to take advantage of a late January stocking of broodstock Atlantic Salmon. Each district will receive 75 retired broodstock salmon ranging in size from 3-11 pounds from the Nashua National Fish Hatchery in Nashua, New Hampshire. Due to the challenging of stocking fish through iced-over waters, only a select number of waters received the fish.December 2012
Depending on weather and access to water, broodstock salmon stocking will begin in mid-December and will be completed by the end of the year. Each district will receive 124 fish, all from the Division of Fisheries and Wildlife's Roger Reed State Fish Hatchery in Palmer. The fish will range in size from 5 to 12 pounds. To find out when lakes and ponds are stocked, contact the DFW District office in Ayer (978) 772-2145; Belchertown (413) 323-7632; Bourne (508) 759-3406; Dalton (413) 684-1646; or West Boylston (508) 835-3607.
