Thread: Stockton

What size walleye do they stock? Thanks.

they sock 3 to 4 in. and somewhere around 750,000 and up. it is stocked every even year. at least I still think so.

Stockton gets stocked with 750,000 small (<2") walleye fingerlings every other year, and sometimes gets more if there is surplus from the hatchery. Small fingerlings (<2") are what all the MO reservoirs that are in the walleye plan get, the exception is a lake that might get extended growth walleye for a study

How long does it take a 2" walleye to get to legal size on Stockton Lake?

Hope they are throwing some in Truman. Love to catch them as a bonus fish.

Takes, on average, around 2 years to get to 15" in MO reservoirs...which is extremely fast growth. Those little guys...if they make it through the initial stocking, are 9-10"ers by october (5 months)...Yes, Truman gets walleye....Truman gets 150,000 every other year, plus surplus sometimes...oh, almost forgot, the stockton walleye stocking may be changing in the near future....a little less fish, but stocked every year instead of every other, I'll have to confirm with Adam boman on that one.

All the walleye that i have caught out of stockton have been nice size ones. I need to hear from the stockton group to see if any one catches any short ones in the 8"-12" size.

Just speaking for myself, i have caught several of them being that size.And will go out on a limb and say others have also.Just my 2 cents.
