BROWN TROUT2022 will be a brown trout year, according to Tyler Hansen, a conservation officer with the Ministry of Corrections, Policing and Public Safety.
Speaking at the Maple Creek Fish & Game League annual meeting on Saturday, April 2, he told of this year’s stocking plans:
Battle Creek – 10,000 brown trout and 10,000 rainbows; Bear Creek – 2,500 brook trout and 1,500 brown trout; Belanger Creek – 3,000 rainbow trout and 3,500 brown trout; Bone Creek – 6,000 brown trout; Conglomerate Creek – 7,000 brown trout; Fairwell Creek – 3,500 brown trout; Shuard Creek – 2,500 brook trout and 1,500 brown trout; Five Mile Dam – 1,000 rainbow trout; and Loch Leven – 4,000 rainbow trout.
Hansen said that all trout released will just be fry, meaning they won’t be catchable size until the following year.
Turning to walleye, Hansen said the tentative plan for the Southwest is to stock Junction Reservoir, Lac Pelletier and Summercove Reservoir. This year, Water Security Agency is predicting a low water year so the plans to stock walleye may be postponed until 2023.
