“The closure of hatcheries and potential reductions in trout and other stockings that were slated to begin this month have been deferred and will be revisited at our spring meeting.”
Goal was to collect 1,774 quarts of walleye eggs to produce 158 million walleye fry, and DNR collected 2,030 quarts — 249 million eggs — to eclipse goal by 14 percent, DNR says.
The goal is to collect enough fish to hatch 158 million walleye fry that will supply Iowa lakes and fish hatcheries.
