RIVERDALE, ND—North Dakota Game and Fish Department (GFD) personnel announced that they experienced a successful salmon egg collection effort during the recent fall spawn. GFD crews caught more than 2,000 salmon during the past several weeks, of which 54 percent were females that yielded eggs.
"We had another good year, collecting 1.8 million eggs from Lake Sakakawea and the Missouri River," says the GFD's Paul Bailey. "We had a goal of collecting between 1.5 to 2 million eggs for our stocking needs."
