Providing opportunities for people to catch fish keeps our anglers active and excited about fishing.
Trout stockings are especially popular and appreciated by anglers. Approximately 6,400 cutthroat trout
were stocked into 12 different waters during August and September. These stockings provided numerous
opportunities for a number of anglers to complete their Trout Slams. In 2019, approximately 41.3 million fish
were stocked in 243 waters in 73 counties across the state. These stockings included 22 different species of
fish, including hybrids.
Dave Reiner, a technician at the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission's Calamus State Fish Hatchery, stocks advanced
saugeye into the reservoir at Lone Star Recreation Area, a Little Blue Natural Resources District project in Fillmore County.
