KDWP 2005 FISH STOCKING REPORT
Kansas anglers reap benefits of license
and equipment purchases
November 10, 2005 - PRATT -- The year 2005 is winding
down, and the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks has completed
its yearly stocking of fish raised in state hatcheries at Farlington,
Meade, Milford, and Pratt. The results are impressive. Approximately
64.5 million predaceous fish -- including intermediate (5-8 inches),
fingerling (1 1/2 inches), and fry (newly-hatched) -- were stocked
in the state's waters. Almost 3 million channel catfish fry,
361,000 intermediates, 720,000 fingerlings, and 1,600 adult channel
catfish were stocked. In addition, 1.1 million bluegill and 1.2
million redear sunfish were stocked.
Predaceous fish stockings included 578,000 walleye fingerlings
and 49 million walleye fry; 34,000 intermediate wipers and 765,000
wiper fry; 14,000 intermediate largemouth bass and 27,000 largemouth
bass fry; 2,600 intermediate smallmouth bass, 14,000 fingerling
smallmouth bass, and 148,000 smallmouth bass fry. Sauger stocking
included 244,00 fingerlings and 1.3 million fry. Saugeye stocking
included 822,000 fingerlings and 6.8 million fry.
Stocking fish on this scale is made possible through the hard
work of dedicated employees at KDWP's four hatcheries and is
paid for by Kansas anglers through fishing license sales and
excise taxes on fishing equipment. The 2005 stocking results
reflect the fact that the sport of fishing is alive and well
in the Sunflower State.
