The Lobster Lake Association maintains a designated fund for stocking walleye to supplement what the DNR stocks.

The DNR formerly stocked fall fingerlings in odd numbered years and LLA stocked fall fingerlings in even numbered years. The DNR switched its stocking regime from fall fingerlings to spring fry in 2025.

They stocked 346,500 fry in May of 2025 and they will continue to stock a similar amount of spring fry on a yearly basis. The LLA also decided to switch its stocking regime from fingerlings to yearlings in the spring of 2026 and they will continue to stock spring yearlings in even numbered years.

LLA walleye stocking funds were used to purchase yearlings from Klug’s Fish Farm of Garfield. The cost was $7000 for 350 lbs, about 4200 yearlings 8-10 inches long, which were stocked at the public access on April 22, 2026.

The DNR also stocks some muskies annually with no cost to the LLA. They switched from fingerlings to yearlings in the fall of 2025. Seventy yearlings were stocked then compared to about 350 fingerlings in 2024.
