The Elkhart River Restoration Association (ERRA) announces the upcoming release of 3,250 walleye fingerlings (6″-9″ long fish) to the Elkhart River on Monday, October 14th at approximately 1:00 pm. The ERRA began stocking walleye fingerlings (pictured below) in the Elkhart River in 2014 and has continued to do so every two years. The walleye fingerlings will be released at the boat launches first at Shanklin Park (below the Dam) and then at Violett Cemetery (above the Dam).
Please note that the time of release may fluctuate depending on travel time from the Gollon Bait & Fish Farm in Dodgeville, Wisconsin. Any change in the release time will be posted to ERRA’s Facebook page. Once the fish tanks are opened, the release takes less than 60 seconds.
