fishing4fun Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 When does the fish hatchery around Okaboji start having fish go through? I think it would be fun to show the kids someday. I know it's way early now, but I'd like to have it in mind for some up coming weekends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esox_Magnum Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Week or so after full ice out depending on Mother Nature. Wild guess sometime around April 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esox_Magnum Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Won't be alot left in there for fish by the weekend, they are done netting and return the fish shortly after milking. My buddy up there told me by weeks end they should have most fish returned to the lakes. Sorry Del didn't take the camera this year but a couple 10# plus eyes and 3-4 40#+ skies in the tanks when I was there on Saturday... I'm hoping someday they finaly get one of the big skies that roam our lakes, nothing over 50" in there this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishing4fun Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 Any fish still at the hatchery? Any muskies running through? I'd have a long drive with the kids so deffinately would be good if there were some fish running.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esox_Magnum Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 My guess is nothing left in there but the ones hatching. Muskies and walleyes are taken at the same time and stripped and returned to the lakes as soon as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
