North Dakota Catchable Trout, Catfish, Pike Stocked
North Dakota Game and Fish Department fisheries personnel recently stocked more than 40 local fisheries with catchable trout, catfish and pike. Approximately 23,000 11-inch rainbow trout, 800 adult catfish, 750 5-pound pike and 600 1- to 5-pound cutthroat trout were recently stocked in rural and city ponds and lakes. Fisheries production and development section leader Jerry Weigel said while the state’s fisheries are at historic highs, many are not as easily accessible to youngsters, older adults and disabled anglers. “These stockings put catchable fish in waters that are accessible,” Weigel said. “Many have fishing piers, and are a great opportunity for a first-time angler to catch fish.” · Barnes – Blumers Pond (rainbow), Hatchery Kids Pond (rainbow) · Bottineau – Strawberry Lake (rainbow) · Bowman – Lutz Dam (rainbow) · Burleigh – Cottonwood Park Pond (p...
