No stocking recorded since 2011. The dataset runs to 2011, so this is an absence of records, not necessarily an absence of fish.

DEC most often recorded stocking here in September. That is when fish were released, which is not the same as when fishing is good.

By species: Tiger Muskellunge 5,700.
