Fish Stocking Begins At The Hatchery

The Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Division of Sport Fish stocks a variety of fish species into lakes and streams throughout Alaska. Rainbow trout, Arctic char, and landlocked Chinook and coho salmon, raised in the state’s two fish hatcheries, are stocked in many southcentral and interior lakes. Since the early 1960s, ADF&G has been stocking lakes in the Kenai Peninsula area. Today, lakes are stocked to increase sport fishing opportunities, and to improve existing fisheries. Most of the lakes are small, and have no natural spawning areas. Since fish in these lakes cannot reproduce, the lakes in the Kenai Peninsula area are stocked either annually or during alternating years from early to late summer.

For current stocking records, please visit the “Hatcheries and Stocking” webpage under the “Sport Fishing” tab on the Alaska Department of Fish and Game’s webpage www.adfg.alaska.gov.

Alaskans care deeply about their fish and aquatic resources. Many families and individuals rely on Alaska’s abundant natural resources not only for economic security but as a food source. These same resources also attract vast numbers of visitors to the state each year for sport fishing opportunities. With high fishing pressure, enhancement is necessary throughout Alaska to provide diverse fisheries for all to enjoy. Located within the William Jack Hernandez Sport Fish Hatchery, the Ship Creek Fisheries Center creates a space where people can learn about sport fish enhancement in Alaska and opportunities provided by stocking.

With over 100 rearing tanks, the hatchery can produce up to 6 million fish each year. These fingerling (1” to 2”), smolt (3” to 5”) and catchable (7”– 12”) fish are released throughout Southcentral Alaska from Cordova to Kodiak, Homer, Kenai, Seward, Anchorage, Mat-Su, and Talkeetna. Sport fishing activity supported through these fish releases accounts for over $20 million a year in economic impact on local communities.

Other GearThere may be areas where it is legal to use a spear to target pike, and other areas where is it open to bowfishing for pike

Steel leaders are highly recommended, since they ensure that the pike’s sharp teeth won’t break the line. Pike also have teeth on their gills, so a hook removal tool would also be helpful.

* In addition to your fishing gear, don’t forget to take a life jacket / PFD , sunblock, bug repellent, first aid kit, and regulation booklet.

* Remember, there may be areas where cell phones do not work, so be sure to let someone know where you are going and when you are expected to return.
