| Abstract: | Four lakes (i.e., Crystal, Glacier, Moraine, and Twin lakes) along the Juneau roadside freshwater fishery are scheduled to be stocked with all-female triploid rainbow trout, beginning in 2018. The first release of fish will be catchable size rainbow trout from the 2015 brood year (BY 2015) that will be released at Twin Lakes in the spring, prior to an annual event known as Family Fishing Day. The second release of fish will be subcatchable rainbow trout from the 2016 brood year (BY 2016) that will be released in fall 2018 in all 4 Juneau roadside lakes scheduled to be stocked. In an effort to avoid stressing out newly stocked fish, the spring and fall lake sampling events will occur prior to the release scheduled for the respective season. This sampling and release schedule means that pre-release surveys will occur at all 4 lakes scheduled to be stocked during the spring sampling event, and pre-release surveys will also be required for Crystal, Glacier, and Moraine lakes during the fall sampling event. |
