Every stocking record

Every trout and kokanee release WDFW lists for this water in the last two years, newest first, then yearly totals since 2020. Counts include fry and fingerlings as well as catchable trout: WDFW calls catchable fish “legals”. Fish per pound is WDFW’s figure for each release; fewer fish per pound means bigger fish.
