Last week Clear Lake received a fall stocking of 18,000 advanced fingerling walleyes. Chris Clous from the Rathbun State Fish Hatchery released the fingerling walleyes at the Clear Lake Sea Wall. The nine-inch fingerlings ( a photo of a fingerling can be found on page 2) were reared at the Rathbun State Fish Hatchery from eggs gathered early this spring at Clear Lake. According to DNR District Fisheries Biologist, Jim Wahl, the fish are intended to supplement fry stockings made earlier in the year. With the most challenging period of their life behind them, the advanced fingerlings will have superior survival over fish released at a smaller size. -Photo by Lowell Washburn
