Glenrowan Recreational Reserve Lake (Glenrowan) Will receive a total of 14,000 ready-to-catch trout over the year) Will receive a total of 14,000 ready-to-catch trout over the year School holiday family fishing waters Water This stocking program aims to encourage families to go fishing, particularly during school holidays.Īnglers are reminded that a daily bag limit of five trout applies, of which only two can exceed 35 centimetres. Rainbow trout are a good option for children or those trying fishing for the first time, because they are relatively easy to catch and take a variety of baits and lures. The rainbow trout stocked are advanced yearlings and are suitable to be caught immediately. This greatly increases survival of the fry and allows reintroduction into barren or low population streams.Ahead of the school holidays, 'ready-to-catch' rainbow trout are stocked into lakes around Melbourne and regional centres.įish stocking is funded by recreational fishing licence fees and the State Government's Go Fishing Victoria plan to get more people fishing, more often. Eyed eggs return to designated streams and placed into Instream Incubators that utilize stream water and allow the fry to emerge from the eggs and swim up into the stream. This unit is ideal for incubating small numbers of wild fish eggs to assist in restoration of native fish.Īlberta fisheries biologists determine the wild fish collection site and the number of eggs to incubate to eye-up inside the quarantine facility. The quarantine facility is a self-contained, 100% re-use water system.
Allison Creek Brood Trout Station Mobile Quarantine UnitĪllison Creek Brood Trout Station operates a mobile quarantine trailer unit that can incubate wild eggs collected from trout populations in streams or rivers in Alberta. Proper crossing of the various strains of trout is vital to prevent inbreeding of our trout and to achieve high survival of fertilized eggs. The brood stations need to ensure they have adequate adults on hand to produce required eggs. The brook and brown trout cross to create the tiger trout as well.
There are three different strains of rainbow trout, one strain each of brown, brook and cutthroat trout. Two of the hatcheries function as brood trout stations housing adult fish reared to produce the eggs required for spawning various trout species to stock select waterbodies across the province. The Alberta Government owns and operates 4 fish hatcheries.
