Stripers stocked at Broadford Lake

Type: Nontidal
Region: Western
Location: Broadford Lake

Broadford Lake in Garrett County received about 270 advanced fingerling striped bass recently. These fish were hatched out at the Manning Hatchery, reared at the Chalk Point Aquaculture Center, and then transferred to the Department of Juvenile Services� Meadow Mountain Youth Center in Garrett County for the final stage of rearing. The young men from the Youth Center helped stock the fish, and we will be conducting fish population surveys this fall to determine the success of this stocking effort. Any angler fortunate enough to capture a striped bass in Broadford Lake are asked to contact my office at (301) 334 � 8218.
