Greetings and welcome to the New Hampshire
fish stocking report.
JULY 15: Fish
stocking is just about over for the season, so this report will be
suspended until next spring. Thanks for reading, and we'll look forward
to reporting to you again next year. Here is some info about fish stocking
from fisheries chief Steve Perry:
"Fish stocking occurs primarily
from mid-March to early July. There are several reasons for this, the foremost
is related to water temperatures. Since trout cannot tolerate water temperatures
when they warm to the mid-70s, they need to be stocked prior to the onset
of this occurrence. Secondly is the need for grow-out space for the next
year's production of trout. As the young trout start to increase substantially
in weight during the spring and summer months, their densities need to be
spread out among the available rearing containers in order to minimize problems
that can arise from over-crowding conditions.
"What is occurring at the
present time (late July) with respect to stocking is essentially
the release of surplus fish into suitable waters. This occurs because
hatcheries typically rear approximately 10% more fish than what are needed
to meet stocking targets as a safeguard to cover any potential unforeseen
losses due to disease or other causes. This safety margin is adjusted
periodically as inventory counts take place, such as occurs when fish
densities are being thinned by moving the young fish to empty rearing
containers. This ensures that the hatcheries are only carrying what they
need to carry and provides occasional bonus stockings to select waters."
The N.H. Fish Stocking Report web page is
possible because of a 2004 NH state law which allows the Executive Director of N.H.
Fish and Game to provide past stocking information on a weekly basis.
Look
for an update every Thursday between April and July. If you want to be reminded to visit this stocking page, find us on Facebook! Click here for links to current and
past fishing reports.
This report is usually posted on Thursdays (during stocking season) and includes stocking locations from the previous week.
