Salmon Stocking:
Approximately 33,000 healthy yearling salmon were stocked in Lake George
during 2006 (Table 5). A total of 30,000 salmon yearlings were stocked
in late-May 2006. The spring yearlings were not marked. In addition about
3,000, 9.8” -inch fall yearlings (Left ventral fin clip– bottom
rear on left side) reared at the Warren County Hatchery were stocked in
late September. The hypothesis is that stocking larger salmon will increase
annual salmon survival. Yearling and fall yearling salmon were differentially
fin clipped to permit identification and evaluation. Only the fall stocked
salmon will be fin clipped in the future.
