Approved Fish Species List for Lake Delton Fisheries Restoration Project

August 30, 2008 fish4lakedelton No comments

In order to rebuild the Lake Delton fishery, WI DNR biologist Tim Larson has developed a stocking plan that will introduce only the species native to the lakes and rivers of the Wisconsin Dells area. The plan also provides for the species necessary to bring the Lake back to a successful recreational fishery. Thus, not ever fish that could or would survive in the newly formed Lake Delton will be – or is desired – to be included. The goal is a healthy fishery that provides maximum benefit to the natural environment and recreational fishers alike.

The current list consists of the main game and forage species determined to best meet the goals of the restocking plan.

Wisconsin DNR will be providing the necessary numbers of Northern Pike (11,214 – 3″ fingerlings) and Walleye (9,345 – 2″ fingerlings). “These numbers are the Wisconsin DNR stocking quotas for 2009.” — Tim Larson, WI DNR Fisheries Biologist

However, the rest of the stocking plan will be up to the Lake Delton Fisheries Restoration Project to raise the necessary monies.

This is where all of us have a chance to be a part of rebuilding Lake Delton and the fishery.

The following list is the Officially Approved Species List for the Lake Delton Fisheries Restoration Program. When you choose from this list as you develop your specific donation.

Adopt a Fingerling
Adopt a School O’Fingerlings
Endow a School O’Fingerlings
