Extra, extra, read all about it: More trout to some Chicago lakes

The IDNR normal stocking rate for each water is listed below in the first column. The team at Jake Wolf Fish Hatchery outdid themselves this year and were able to stock additional trout (see column 2). Those fish were delivered this past Tuesday. It nearly doubled the normal stocking numbers. You may have seen these fish when you were up at JW on Monday tagging alligator gar. These fish were very large and very heavy, in great body condition averaging 14 in length. Kudos to our Jake Wolf gang. Above and beyond. (but don’t expect this every year, it just worked out well this year so our anglers got the benefit).
