Over 550,000 trout, 8 inches or larger, are scheduled to be stocked in 99 Region 6 lakes this year.  An additional 25.300 jumbo and broodstock trout will be stocked into 61 of these lakes and ponds.

Triploid Trout
There are 36 lakes and ponds throughout the Region that will be stocked with 1 ½ pound average trout.  These trout, purchased by the Department, are sterile rainbows that have the potential to grow to trophy size if abundant food is available, and if not harvested the first season after stocking.  The triploid rainbow trout are identified as TRB under the Species in the catchable trout table.

Species Code RB = rainbow K = Kokanee RB(T) = triploid TT = tiger trout BN = brown trout EB = brook trout CT = cutthroat

Trout Fry Plants
Over 2 million fry and fingerlings were stocked with 2- to 5- inch long trout fry into 45 lakes and ponds in the Region.  Kokanee were stocked in 2005 for the 2007 fishery, while trout were stocked in 2006 for this year's catch.  Fry are stocked in the spring and fall, where they feed and grow on natural food until the following spring when they are large enough to be harvested.  The survival rate of fry varies depending on the lake.  Western Washington lowland lakes depend primarily on catchable size trout plants because of relatively low fry survival.  Where fry are stocked, the ones that survive supplement the catchable trout plants.
