Maybe I dreamed it, but I sure thought I once stumbled upon pages that showed what species and how many were stocked in various lakes around the State. Any of you seen this and have a link?

All I could find on "the" internet. No numbers for per species and nothing on numbers for the other three hatcheries.

Opened in 1997, Booker Fowler Fish Hatchery in Forest Hill, Louisiana is the largest and most modern of LDWF’s fish hatcheries, with 53 acres of ponds, 16 outdoor raceways, and a spacious building for culture operations. It is the state’s primary freshwater sportfish production facility, and its central location facilitates the distribution of fry and fingerlings (young and juvenile fish) to public waterbodies throughout Louisiana. Since it opened, the hatchery has produced more than 70 million fish for release into Louisiana’s waters.

On a side note....have you made a trip to ICR since they started dropping the level? The south end is almost bone dry.

Individual lake reports will have the stocking history of the lake, they are on the LDWF website, search name of lake management plan and it will pop up. It may also be in the LDWF annual reports I have linked. LDWF annual reports

Pool level is WAY down. Hopefully we get a good freeze while it's down and does a good vegetation kill.

I'd love to see it survive actually. We might see a truly developed inside grass line. One of my favorite things to fish. These a impoundments should be lowered more often to expose the banks. Not 8 feet, but enough to expose the spawning areas.

Those reports sort of gave me what I wanted to know. Saw a pic posted recently, and I have reason to believe it wasn't taken where the owner claims. The metadata was removed
