Spawning Season Begins Early at Sullivan Creek National Fish Hatchery
Midwest Region, August 23, 2004
Print Friendly Version
One particular strain of lake trout is adding at least three weeks on the beginning of spawning season this fall. The Superior Klondike Reef strain's first females were ready to spawn during the week of August 23. Before this strain was acquired, spawning didn?t start until mid-September for the staff.

These fish are named for the place the original parents were captured from, a reef between Grand Marais and Whitefish Point in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The eggs are sent to Allegheny National Fish Hatchery in Pennsylvania, and the fish are later stocked in Lake Erie.
