South Dakota Plans 2004 Salmon Stocking For Oahe
#1
PIERRE, SD—South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks (GFP) has opened its Whitlock Bay Salmon Spawning Station after two years of inaction. Salmon eggs will be collected this fall, producing approximately 150,000 juvenile salmon to be stocked in Lake Oahe.

In 2001 and 2002, South Dakota suspended salmon stocking in Lake Oahe because of an overabundance of predators and a shortage of baitfish. Due to this lapse in stocking, there will be no Lake Oahe salmon runs in 2004 and 2005. A small number of salmon were stocked in 2003, but GFP officials say the small numbers will only provide an egg source and a minimal fishery by 2006.
