Stocking-Palisades?

Thanks for your interest in Palisades Reservoir stockings.  Although our stocking database does not currently show that cutthroat have been stocked in Palisades, they indeed have.  As mitigation for Palisades Dam, the Jackson National Fish Hatchery is responsible for stocking that reservoir.  There is often a delay between when they stock, and when our stocking database reflects those efforts.  However, a 5 year delay is excessive.  We will do our best to update this omission, and get the latest stocking information displayed on our webpage.  One point worth bringing up is that in recent years (2013 to now) we've switched our tactics for Palisades, and are now stocking advanced fingerlings that are 6" in length as opposed to smaller fish.  This has required a reduction in the number of fish going into the lake, but we think that survival is better and that this strategy could improve the fishery.  We are also exploring other options to improve the kokanee fishery, but those eforts have not been implemented yet. Stocking numbers from 2009 to present: 2009 - 303,127 2010 - 104,509 2011 - 110,090 2012 - 60,119 2013 - 100,350 2014 - 101,333
