Each fall, DNR fisheries staff harvest about 1.3 MILLION walleye fingerlings from shallow rearing ponds and stock them into lakes. Most walleyes caught by anglers are from naturally reproducing populations, but some lakes with otherwise good habitat, prey, and fish communities for a good walleye fishery need a boost to overcome poor conditions for natural reproduction. When habitat and other biological conditions are favorable, stocking of either walleye fry (tiny fish) or fingerlings may benefi

Southeast Minnesota is a popular trout fishing destination, and each spring and fall DNR staff survey key area streams to collect data on trout populations. Annual surveys help us understand how trout numbers are affected by short-term changes (such as a flood event or food availability) as well as long-term trends, like climate change. Looking to catch some trout in 2024? Due to the unique karst geology of the Driftless Area with its abundance of springs, Southeast Minnesota’s trout streams sta

🐟🤮 This fish puke serves an important research purpose – to help scientists learn about the diets of muskellunge, walleye, northern pike and largemouth bass. One focus of the study was to look at how muskie might be affecting other fish species (such as through direct predation, competition, or forcing other species to shift their diets). Results from the study are still being analyzed, but preliminary findings show: 🐟 Muskie diets are very broad! Muskies ate lots of yellow perch and suckers,

Calling all anglers! Want to stick to the rivers and lakes that you’re used to? In 2017 the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) began raising steelhead trout to bolster the population of these types of fish in streams along the North Shore of Lake Superior and in Lake Superior itself. The program began with the intent to raise “clipped-for-harvest” fish, which means only fish with a clipped adipose fin can be kept by anglers. The adipose fin is a small fin on the back of the fish bet

You’ve heard of recipes for fried walleye, but this is a recipe for walleye fry! We stock walleye in about 900 lakes throughout Minnesota, adjusting stocking levels as necessary to increase or maintain healthy walleye populations. It's more cost effective to stock the mosquito-sized walleye fry than the 4 to 6-inch walleye fingerlings. On average, stocked lakes receive about 1,000 fry per littoral acre. (P.S. Don’t try this recipe at home – results might vary.) | Minnesota Department of Natural
