About Michigan Fish Stocking in 2013

How many fish were stocked in Michigan in 2013?

The DNR logged 1,246 stocking events across 373 lakes in 2013. Click any month in the activity chart above to see the breakdown for that specific month.

Which counties were most active in 2013?

Where does the stocking data come from?

All records are sourced directly from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and synced regularly. Nothing is estimated, every event shown came from the official DNR stocking report dating back to 1979.

Can I get notified when my lake is stocked?

Yes. Every free account includes 1 stocking alert: you get an email when the DNR adds a new stocking record for your chosen lake or species, the same day the data hits our system. Fishing Pro removes the cap so you can track as many lakes and species as you like.
