Fish Stocking

The Fish Stocking Project provides anglers with increased opportunities to catch and harvest rainbow trout, brown trout, brook trout and, for the first time, tiger trout in regions of Alberta where angling opportunities are limited. Recipient waterbodies are prone to winterkill and require annual stocking of fish to maintain angling opportunities. We stocked 65 waterbodies with 111,993 rainbow trout, 2,300 brown trout, 6,640 brook trout, and 1,870 tiger trout for a total of 122,803 trout. We stocked 64 waterbodies with rainbow trout and supplemented eight with brown trout, ten with brook trout, and 11 with tiger trout. We stocked one waterbody with brook trout and tiger trout. Overall, we stocked 39 ponds with single species and 26 ponds with multiple species. We stocked one waterbody, Boulder Lake, for the first time. We acquired three new corporate partners.
