Exact figures by year
YearFish released
20113,200

DEC records 3,200 fish released here in every year the dataset covers, an average of 3,200 a year, mostly Tiger Muskellunge. Stocking says what was put in, not what is there now, and nothing at all about when the fishing is good.

No stocking recorded since 2011. The dataset runs to 2011, so this is an absence of records, not necessarily an absence of fish.

Species
