WISCONSIN'S LAKE MICHIGAN SALMONID STOCKING SUMMARY

Prepared by Thomas Burzynski
Lake Michigan Fisheries Work Unit Milwaukee – UW WATER Institute
Department of Natural Resources

This stocking summary is based on stocking records entered by Wisconsin DNR staff into the statewide propagation database. A stocking record was generated each time hatchery fish were stocked into Lake Michigan.

There are four types of information included in this summary report. First, total numbers of trout and salmon stocked from 1963-2016 are summarized. The numbers of trout and salmon that were requested for stocking during the current year (2017) are also included. The actual numbers of each species of fish stocked this year will depend on hatchery program production. The first summary (pages 2 and 3) is intended to provide an overview of long-term trends in the stocking of each species.

The last three sets of summaries account for fish stocked during 2012-2016. The second set (pages 4 - 7) focuses on the numbers of fish stocked in each county along the Lake Michigan shoreline in 2012-2016. The third summary (pages 9 - 28) is a set of tables detailing specific stocking sites, the grid location of each stocking site, the specific number and age of fish planted at each site, and any identifying fin clips or marks. The fourth summary (pages 30 - 33) focuses on the marked trout and salmon stocked during the past five years (marked lake trout and steelhead are listed from 2005 and 2008 to the present respectively).

Detailed stocking information for 2012-2016 was provided since this year's harvest of all species, except lake trout, will be based primarily on fish stocked in those years. For example, this year's coho catch will depend largely on yearling coho stocked in 2016. The pattern for brown trout tends to be similar to coho. The catches of rainbow (steelhead) trout this year will result for the most part from yearling fish stocked from 2010-2014. Chinook catches this year depend primarily on Chinooks stocked in 2014-2016. The lake trout catch, unlike the other species, will depend strongly on fish stocked in 2009 and earlier.

A grid map of Lake Michigan (Figure 1) is included to assist you in locating stocking sites. The ages of fish at time of stocking are indicated as fingerling (F), spring fingerling (SF), yearling (Y), or adult (A). Fin clips are coded as single or multiple clips of the following fins and/or mouth parts: adipose (A), dorsal (D), right or left maxillary (RM, LM), right or left pectoral fins (RP, LP), or right or left ventral fins (RV, LV). The acronym CWT used in the summaries stands for coded wire tag, and refers to fish that have a small wire tag inserted into their snouts. All Chinook salmon stocked in the Wisconsin waters of Lake Michigan were marked with an adipose clip and a CWT as part of a lakewide effort to determine the rates of natural reproduction in Lake Michigan. A diagram of a Chinook salmon depicting fin and maxillary locations is included with the summary (Figure 2).

A strain designation code is included in the fin clip column. Strains are coded as Domestic (D), Seeforellen (S), Lake Michigan (M), Arlee (A), Chambers Creek (C) and Ganaraska (G).

2016 Stocking Overview:

Lakewide Chinook salmon stocking numbers were reduced by 50% starting in 2013 based on agreements with other management agencies on Lake Michigan. This agreement was forged to balance the number of predators with available prey. The actual number of Chinook salmon stocked in 2016 exceeded our proposed objective of 810,000 by approximately 2,300 fish. The number of brown trout stocked in 2016 exceeded our proposed objective of 836,000 by approximately 185,000 fish. This was due to all of the brown trout at the Thunder River Rearing Station being stocked out prior to that facility closing. Stocking of steelhead exceeded the production goal of 390,000 by approximately 7,000 fish. Coho salmon stocking fell short of our objective of 500,000 by approximately 42,000. Lake trout stocking by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service fell short of expectations by approximately 37,000 fish.

  • Menomonee River Watershed Restoration Plan Executive Summary

    Menomonee River Watershed Restoration Plan Executive Summary

    Watershed Restoration Plan Menomonee River Chapter 1: Menomonee River Watershed Restoration Plan Executive Summary 1.1 Introduction The primary purpose of this Watershed Restoration Plan (WRP) is to identify specific actions that can be implemented between 2010 and 2015 to improve water quality within the Menomonee River and its tributaries and present general recommendations for activity beyond 2015. These actions have been identified based upon a consideration of many factors, including overall effectiveness, scientific underpinning, regulatory considerations, and stakeholder goals. This WRP describes the characteristics of the Menomonee River and its watershed, focusing on those topics that are directly related to implementation (Figure 1-1). Information provided includes existing (Baseline Year 2000) and Year 2020 land uses, Baseline Year 2000 and Year 2020 water quality conditions, and the most significant sources of pollution. Water quality goals selected by the Southeastern Wisconsin Watersheds Trust, Inc. (SWWT), based upon scientific, regulatory, and stakeholder considerations, are also presented and explained, as are the load reductions that will be needed to meet those goals. The reductions are based upon projected loads for the Year 2020 and as such account for future growth. This WRP is the culmination of historical and recent activity to protect and restore water quality within the greater Milwaukee region. Most significantly, it builds upon the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (SEWRPC) Regional Water Quality Management Plan Update (RWQMPU) and Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD) 2020 Facilities Plan and incorporates the input from members of the SWWT and its associated Menomonee River Watershed Action Team (WAT) and Science Committee. 1.2 Key Elements of the Menomonee River Watershed Restoration Plan This WRP follows the Clean Water Act guidelines for developing effective watershed plans.

In 1991 the Park Board prepared the first Comprehensive Park, Recreation and Open Space Plan which was adopted by the Common Council and used as a guide for acquisition and development of needed park space in the City of Mequon. Every five years since the first Comprehensive Park, Recreation and Open Space Plan was submitted the Park Board has provided updated versions that were adopted by the Common Council. All of the recent plans have been a valuable resource for planning and guiding park acquisition and development. The adoption and implementation of the following document will qualify the City of Mequon for funding assistance from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. More importantly this plan will insure completion of an integrated park system that will provide a wide range of recreational opportunities for Mequon residents, while enhancing the overall quality of life in our Community. The Mequon Park Board is pleased to have been of assistance to the City of Mequon in preparation of the new Comprehensive Park, Recreation and Open Space Plan.
  • The Menomonee Valley: a Historical Overview

    The Menomonee Valley: a Historical Overview

    The Menomonee Valley: A Historical Overview by John Gurda The Menomonee Valley has been one of Milwaukee’s distinguishing features since long before the dawn of urban time. Four miles long and a half-mile wide, it was formed by meltwater during the retreat of the last continental glacier, which departed Wisconsin roughly 10,000 years ago. Although the Valley’s topography varied from year to year and even from season to season, it was generally a sprawling expanse of open water punctuated by beds of wild rice and dense mats of cattails, rushes, and reeds. Writing in 1875, pioneer historian James Buck described the Valley east of Fifth Street as “a wild rice swamp, covered with water from two to six feet in depth; in fact an impassable marsh.” The Valley was not impassable to native canoes. It was, in fact, a storehouse of resources that attracted human settlement centuries before anyone contemplated a city. The Menomonee River provided a canoe route from Lake Michigan to the interior, but far more important were the plants and animals it supported. Wild rice was a critically important food source for the procession of tribes who made their homes in the area. (The name “Menomonee” itself is derived from the word for wild rice.) Wetland plants provided the raw materials for baskets, mats, and shelters. Fish and waterfowl were abundant. James Buck penned a verdant description of the Valley in the 1830s: “All the marsh proper … would, in the Spring, be literally alive with fish that came in from the lake…. And the number of ducks that covered the marsh was beyond all computation.

    The Menomonee Valley a Window to Milwaukee’S Past and a Projection of Its Future

    The Menomonee Valley A Window to Milwaukee’s Past and a Projection of its Future Joseph Zagrodnik University of Wisconsin-Madison History 460, Section 307 24 November 2008 2 The one constant through the Menomonee Valley’s past has been its river. Of course, the river and everything around it has gone through astounding changes in the last few centuries, but the valley has always facilitated the flow of the Menomonee River on the final leg of its journey to Lake Michigan. Along this final path, specifically from Wisconsin Avenue to 27th street, the river passes some of the most striking symbols of Milwaukee’s past, present, and future which connect like nowhere else in the city. In this stretch, a baseball stadium and its vast parking lots pass by while a business park sits just behind the lots. Further down the river, two old smokestacks serve as the centerpiece to a new park, with steel trusses, manufacturing plants, and railroads in the background. At first, there may not seem to be much connection between these landmarks, but a closer look reveals that is the collision of these contrasting symbols in the geographical center of Milwaukee that makes the Menomonee Valley so remarkable. The economic initiatives represented by the smokestacks once contrasted with the ecological attributes still symbolized in the parks and river that first made the valley attractive to settlers. The impact of economic growth on the valley’s ecology is vital to understanding why the Menomonee Valley and the City of Milwaukee remain connected to this date. As the constant in the valley, the river is the best place to examine these changes.

The proposed project is being conducted under the Great Lakes Fishery and Ecosystem Restoration Program, which is authorized by Section 506 of the Water Resources and Development Act of 2000 (P.L. 106-541). The proposed action involves the removal of approximately 4400 linear feet of concrete lined channel along Underwood Creek, to support the restoration of the fishery, the aquatic ecosystem, and aquatic habitat. Improvements will result from the construction of a boulder and stone lined main channel with riffles and pools that will provide spawning habitat and fish passage to upstream areas that are currently blocked by the concrete channel lining and drop structures. The project will provide access for fish from Lake Michigan and the Menomonee River into the lower 1.25 miles of Underwood Creek. In the future, this connectivity is expected to extend into the upper reaches of Underwood Creek as the MMSD pursues removal of concrete drop structures that block fish passage into quality spawning habitats farther upstream. Implementation of the proposed project would not result in significant short term, long term or cumulative adverse environmental impacts.
