2008 fish stocking reports

[timberhall]

Where can I find the 2008 fish stocking reports. All I can find on the state web sight is up to 2007 even though the link says 2008.

I don't think they have it posted. I was looking for it last week and only saw the 2007 also[frown]

I read a report on another site that said due to conflicts within the DWR there may not be any more stocking reports.

I doubt the stories you heard have any real meaning. It takes the DWR a while to compile and organize everything. Just give them a little more time and they will have everything posted.[]

Still nothing on the link. Maybe it is true. There will be no more stocking information.

To many people following the truck to the pond.

Good thing you reminded me. There may well be something strange. I have not recieved a response from the DWR e-mail. They usually respond to everything I have asked in the past by four days. In fact, I had forgotten I even sent them an e-mail almost a month ago. Lets have someone find out then.

We already went over this subject last month. There won't be anymore stocking reports.

I believe I am the one who mentioned there will not be any reports anytime soon. I spoke with Corey Maylett, the DWR web admin who generates the report about this. For the last 2 years he's been providing me with the raw data in spreadsheet format so I could create the report on my site.

Here is his response to my inquiry a couple months back about why we haven't had reports yet:

"Every year our aquatics section and our IP people have mindlessly
changed the database configuration with no regard for the fish
stocking reports (even though those reports were originally their
idea), and every year it's been like pulling teeth to get them to
straighten things around to the point where I could gain access to the
data. This year, I just got tired of going through that annual ordeal
and told them that unless they fixed the annual problem they
needlessly create every year, that they'll just do without having
their reports online. So far, it apparently hasn't been worth it to
them to fix it. So, unless the DWR gets enough public complaints about
the missing information, we won't be publishing any stocking reports.
Sorry.

Cory "

So, if you want to see the reports again (as I do), then I suggest you complain loud and often, and get your friends to do the same, or else there will be no stocking reports.

I suggest emailing your complaints/comments to the DWR. [url "mailtoWRcomment@utah.gov"]DWRcomment@utah.gov[/url]

[frown] Today I found out the same thing, this is the response I got:

[size 2]The 2008 fish stocking report will not be available on the website.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

[#000000]I guess everything is changing then. With all the new computer compilation and speadsheet formats noone wants to make an effort. The easier it gets the harder it gets. Funny thing.

Not sure if this has already been mentioned but 2008 fish stocking reports are once again available on the DWR website. I doubt anybody suffered too much without them for a while. Well except Trout Slayer who couldn't shake that skunk all spring without it. By the way TS I did get the flag today-Thanks

I have a question about this. If I did my numbers correctly, I have them putting roughly 95000 Rainbows in Strawberry. Didn't I read a report this past spring about them putting over 400000 Rainbows in Strawberry. Is it just me, or is there a big discrepancy there?

Due to several things the report is almost never current. A few weeks or so behind most of the time. It also only lists what has been planted not what still has to be planted. The fish planted in Strawberry were supposed to be bigger this year and will take longer to raise. This could be part of the discrepancy.
