Stocking Walleye

Type: Nontidal
Region: Western
Location: Cumberland

Inland Fisheries recently stocked approximately 650,000 walleye fry in the Potomac River near Cumberland to supplement natural reproduction. The fry were produced at the Cedarville Hatchery from brood collected from the Potomac during the spring population survey. Potomac River walleye grow quickly and the surviving fry will reach the 15 inch minimum size in about three years.
