The DNR will collect eggs and milt from approximately 520 adult walleye. Most fish will be returned to the river immediately, though 60 will be retained for routine health and disease surveillance testing at Michigan State University.
The eggs collected will support multiple stocking efforts across Michigan. Some fry will be placed directly in waters throughout the Lower Peninsula, while others will be raised in ponds to fingerling size of 1.5 to 2.5 inches before being stocked in late spring or early summer.
