  I have a copper bathtub from the 1800's I was gonna make a Koi/coffee table tank with but might fill ov jars ov Eye eggs instead.. 1,816 LAST YR. Why bother? I be milkin' eggs, don't think the old ladie will be pleased settin' her tea cup on top ov a glass top tub full ov sperm & eggs but oh well she been through worser 
 
crappy

Capt,
redo your math.   Although the final number doesn't mean much because 6800 is a drop in the bucket. 
I wonder if 2015 is an outlier due to sickness,lack of fry , etc.   
I wouldn't think that they'd even send a truck down for that small amount of fingerlings. 
Here are the #'s since 2000 for both the river and lake.

Am I reading this wrong ? Shenango River Lake Walleye stockings 2010-2015

The new Inland Walleye stocking program started in 2008    ( Basically a cutback stocking program )
 
"Beginning in 2008, we suspended Walleye stockings in all of our flowing waters and began an intensive evaluation program to determine the levels of Walleye natural reproduction in those previously stocked rivers."
French Creek got a total of 1.4 million Walleye fry stocked just last year 2015. I have nothing against French Creek stockings but lets be somewhat fair.
Shenango River got zero ! For the past 9 years !
 
Shenango River has had the best catch rate and some of the nicer size Walleye caught in this area, yet that means nothing to insuring a good future in Walleye fishing. Would it hurt to put 10,000 fry in annually like they did ? The results are seen every year by hundreds of fishermen who have caught those river Walleyes. Once again why mess with something that is working fine ....I give up

     In the year 2008 the Fish Commission started their new Inland Walleye Stocking program. Like I said before this was basically a major cut back on stocking Walleye in our waterways throughout the State . Some numbers are very drastic cuts and I think will have strong rippling effects into the future of Walleye fishing as we knew it. I hope I'm wrong , but you look at these huge cuts and tell me how Mother Nature will replenish the supply. Some of these cutbacks should have been felt the past few years, so if your not seeing the amount of Walleye being caught this is probably why.
 
Allegheny River / Armstrong County /  2007 last stocking  / 3 million cut each year since  / 27 million less over 9 years
 
Allegheny River / Tionesta area  /  2007 last stocking / 196,000 cut each year since /  1.7 million less over 9 years
 
Allegheny River / Oil Creek, French Creek , areas  2007 last stocking  / 3.4 million cut each year since / 30.6 million less over 9 years
 
Allegheny River / Clarion County  / 2007 last stocking / 750,000 cut each year since / 6.75 million less over 9 yrs.
 
Clarion River / Clarion County / 2012  last stocking / 211,000 cut each year since / 844,00 less over 4 yrs.
 
Edinboro Lake / Erie County / 2014 last stocking / 5,000 less from 2014  / no stocking 2015 / 14,000 less over 2 yrs.
 
Conneaut Lake / Crawford County / 2014 last stocking / 20,000 less from 2013 / no stocking 2015 / 40,000 less over 2 yrs.
 
Shenango Lake / Mercer County / 2014 stocked 72,000 / 2015 stocked 1,800 / 71,200 less in one year
 
Shenango River / Mercer County / 2007 last stocked 4,800 / 43,200 less over 9 yrs.
 
Lake Arthur / Butler County / 2014 stocked 96,700 / down 48,000 / shows no stocking for 2015 / 144,700 less over 2 yrs.
 
Lake Wilhelm / Mercer County / 2015 stocked / same no change  / 68,000
 
Pymatuning Reservoir / Crawford County / 2015 stocked / same no change / 4,293,000
 
Some areas did receive increases like Allegheny Reservoir , Allegheny outflow area / upper Allegheny River, and French Creek .
 
Just some basic rough math I show about 67.2 million" less " fry / fingerling Walleye stocked in the above listed lakes / rivers over the 9 years of missed or lowered stockings ! Even at a 10% survival rate we have lost out on about 6 - 7 million Walleye being caught in the future . Can Mother Nature keep that pace with natural spawning ?
