National Survey of Needs for Hatchery Fish a Cooperative Project of the 50 States and the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Fish and Wildlife Service Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife STATE BY STATE SUMMARIES National Survey of Needs for Hatchery Fish A Cooperative Project of the 50 States and the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife Prepared by the Bureau's Division of Fishery Services with the assistance of the Division of Fish Hatcheries and the Division of Fishery Research Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife Resource Publication 63 (Part II) Washington, D.C. • October 1968 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office Washington, D.C. 20402- Price $1.75 Contents The summaries for the 50 States and the District of Columbia are in alphabetical order. Each State summary covers four pages; the fourth page is a map showing the locations of hatcheries in the State. Foreword This is part II of the report on the National Survey of Needs for Hatchery Fish. The purpose of the survey was to collect information to guide State and Federal fishery managers in their efforts to provide recreational fishing to an ever-growing number of anglers. The survey report is in two parts. The first section, or National Section, contains a summary and interpretation of the data on a nationwide basis. It also contains a copy of the sur- vey design, a glossary, and copies of the survey forms. This second section, or State Section, contains summaries of the data on a State by State basis. For each State, a map shows the loca- tion of State and Federal fish hatcheries. The survey was carried out in the fall and winter of 1966, collecting from Federal and State conservation agencies data on the present and future (1) amount and types of sport-fish habitat, (2) amount and types of habitat stocked, (3) numbers and types of fishermen, (4) stocking requirements, and (5) hatchery fish pro- duction capabilities. Data were also collected from private fish hatcheries concerning present and future production of fish for use in providing recreational fishing. The Director of the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife again expresses his thanks to all those who contributed to this undertaking. NATIONAL SURVEY OF NEEDS FOR HATCHERY FISH ALABAMA Fish Habitats Alabama is the home of intensively managed fishing lakes. Therefore, their lakes and ponds are very productive. All of the more than one-half million acres of inland waters are classified as warm-water (table 1). The principal game species are the largemouth bass, bluegill, and crappie. Over 94,000 acres of farm ponds in Alabama furnish excellent fishing for bass, bluegill, redear sunfish, and channel catfish. The reservoir fishery is typical of fishing on large impoundments throughout the Southeast. Over one-half of the inland fishing waters in Alabama fall in this category. Good fishing is provided for bass, crappie, bluegill, and catfish. This State has approximately 100,000 acres of streams.

The productive estuarine area has many sheltered bays and bayous providing very good fishing. Characteristics of the Fishery Alabama's inland and marine waters provide the fisherman with year-round fishing. Reservoir fishing is most productive in the spring and fall, while the managed lakes are good the entire year. Theffituarine fishing is seasonal, depending upon the movements of the various species. The principal species available to the fishermen are: Fresh water Salt water Largemouth bass Weakfish or "sea trout" Cobia Spotted bass Channel bass Red snapper Crappie Bluefish Grouper Catfish Flounder Tarpon Bluegill and redear sunfish Dolphin White bass Mackerel (King and Spanish) The Alabama Department of Conservation is providing outstanding fishing through its public fishing lake program. These lakes, ranging in size from 30 to nearly 300 acres, are stocked and managed for maximum production. The State is also creating artificial snapper banks in the Gulf of Mexico for the benefit of salt-water anglers. The inland commercial fishery utilizes catfish, drum, buffalo, and sturgeon. It is thought to be beneficial to the sport fishing interest by harvesting competing non-game species. ALABAMA 1 Data on Fishermen In 1965, Alabama had 561,000 fishermen on its inland waters and 76,000 marine fishermen (table 2). These two groups expended 5,330,000 days on fresh waters and 722,000 on salt water. TABLE 2.--Number of warm-water fishermen and days of fishing 1 ,000's 1965 1973 1980 2000 Fishermen 561 618 685 916 Man-days of fishing 5,330 5,871 6,508 8,702 Hatchery Facilities In the State of Alabama, there are two national fish hatcheries and two operated by the Department of Conservation. All are warm-water facilities producing bass, bluegill, redear sunfish, channel catfish, and occasional experimental species. The Federal hatcheries in Alabama have the production capacity to provide the fish needed on waters managed by Federal agencies. Practically all of the waters in Alabama are managed and stocked by the State. In addition, the hatcheries provide fish for stocking Federal waters in contiguous States. Most of the fish produced in the two Federal hatcheries are utilized by the Depart- ment of Conservation in its pond and lake stocking program--in accordance with a co- operative agreement between the State and the Bureau. This involves, at the present, about 2 million fish (table 3). TABLE 3.--Requirements and production of The Bureau of Sport Fisheries and hatchery fish (numbers in 1,000's) Wildlife utilized 6,000 fingerling trout for research purposes in 1965. It is Requirements Production anticipated that this number will increase to 15,000 in 1973, 19,000 in 1980, and 1965 23,000 by 2000.

Adult bass are also needed for corrective stocking in waters overcrowded by forage fishes. An experimental stocking of rainbow trout in a large reservoir which may support this species is now under observation. Should the experiment be a success, an entirely new fishery and a need for trout would result. ALABAMA 2 NATIONAL SURVEY OF NEEDS FOR HATCHERY FISH Projections for 1973, 1980, 2000 By the year 1973, Alabama's need for warm-water fish will be about 8 million annually; and by 1980, another million will be required. In the year 2000, when there will he over 899 million acres of inland water--due to reservoir and lake construction-- nearly 12 million fish will be required. Additional species, such as walleye, striped bass, tilapia, and trout, will be utilized in managing these waters. About 900 thousand fishermen will devote nearly 9 million days to fishing. Conclusions and Recommendations Analysis of the data in this report indicates clearly that the fishing waters will be greatly increased in the future due to reservoir and lake construction. By the year 2000, increased hatchery facilities may be needed to provide fish for managing these waters to provide fishing for nearly 1 million anglers. State officials indicated they do not plan to construct additional hatcheries. A new hatchery concept must be developed in the future to provide for Alabama's requirements. New species must be propagated, and larger fish must be reared. State and visiting biologists discussing the fishery at one of the many State-owned lakes in Alabama.

  • Key Points: • Currently There Is No State Statutory Or Regulatory
    Attachment C. Key Points to Communicate About Fishing Outfitters and Guides Key Points: Currently there is no state statutory or regulatory licensing oversight of fishing guides. The Wyoming State Board of Outfitters and Professional Guides currently licenses and regulates big and trophy game outfitters and professional guides by authority of W.S. 23- 2-410. Is there potential for fishing outfitters and guides inclusion with this board? There are federal regulations regarding the commercial use of some federal lands. Permits are sometimes required. Federal agencies that require permits are Bureau of Land Management, Forest Service, National Park Service, and National Wildlife Refuge System (Seedskadee). There have been five draft legislative bills since 1991 relating to regulating fishing outfitting and guiding. The first was in 1991, then in 1993, 2005, 2014, and again in 2019. The impetus for most of this legislation, and certainly the most recent, has been competition between local anglers and commercial operators. Angler crowding has also been cited as a problem. Crowding is an issue affecting angler experience, but is not a biological issue. If angling pressure is proven to have a negative effect on a body of water, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department (Department), via Ch 46, Section 34, could address concerns through the rulemaking process. For some waters, the crowding issue was most strongly expressed by local guides who are concerned with having to compete with guides from other towns or states. Local residents have complained about increasing numbers of guides on the Salt River, Green River, Bighorn River, and nearly all reaches of the Platte River.
