Walleye ?

Huh?

Like everone else which river are you talking about? I know they are stocked in high numbers in french creek for sure, i would imagion also in the Allegheny. If you are talking erie tribs, i would guess because they barely flow in the summer, and there are lots of eyes in the lake/bay

They stock Walleye in the Allegheny. Over a million, in the forest co. section alone.

 
not picking on you but why isn't there a walleye stamp then??

I thought they stopped stocking 'eyes in the upper Allegheny a few years back to study how well the natural reproduction would do?  Maybe I heard wrong or maybe they stopped stocking above a certain point in the river.

Like lovethoseeyes was saying they stock the walleye and it take a few years for them to get to legal length. Because they stock walleye fry less than an inch long (most fo the fish) so fish are hatched and then that year put in the body of water, maybe 1 or 2 out of 10,000 might live to see adaulthood.

While trout that are kept to 7 inches take much more man hours and food... is why there is a trout stamp to pay for the extra time.

In PA they stock

That was from the PFBC websight, its a little jumbled but you get the point. What you are saying doubletaper is we should buy a stamp for every fish listed?

For more clear view here is the link

thanx, i see they stock other adult species also.
i was just wondering.
what i asked was why only the trout and steelhead fishermen have to pay the fish tax. i guess you guys answered it.
tax the trout fishermen, like i was saying

"tax the trout fishermen, like i was saying"

....not that there's anything wrong with that

 
hey, who asked you

"We're stocking SUCKERS?! "
 
DuUd they still stock Channel cats in Arthur, which is polluted with them

ya as eyesandgills said they stopped stocking walleyes for 3 yrs to see how they do naturally reproducing so i would say if u catch a big female throw it back just so it can reproduce and them big ones taste terrible anyway hopfully it doesnt end up like pymy lake

"So on that note wondering were some of this info is comming from."
 
It's really not that hard to find.

Eyes,
 
They stocked Eyes, in 2008, but 2009 lists only musky. So I assume you are correct.

Union city has walleye, musky, tiger musky, northernpike. I stoped there this past summer and they told me thats what they have in there tanks/ponds at that moment.

The hatchery at Linesville, hatch walleye and when they are done with walleye, the work on the tiger musky program. Every April they have their open house, which is very informative. This year it is being held April 3, 2010, and it's free of charge. They have several different demonstrations associated with the operation of the hatchery.

Wleye have been not stocked in the allegheny river since 2006. Looks like thier still being stocked in ohio river. Thanks spoonchucker for jumping down my throat. never said i was a expert but those websites worked. union city and linesville by lake erie never been there but i was talking about the allegheny.

pymy is not by erie its 40 miles away and none of the fish spawned there go to erie ,the fish hatchery there is for pymy and inland waters as far as i know and have been told
