(Franklin County, Ind.) – Thousands of striped bass and hybrid striped bass are now stocked in Indiana lakes.

Indiana DNR staff recently stocked more than 125,000, two-inch striped bass fingerlings in four southern Indiana public lakes, including 72,600 striped bass in Brookville Lake.

Another 134,000, two-inch hybrid striped bass fingerlings were stocked in nine lakes throughout the state.

Indiana DNR relies on commercial sources and state partners to supply fry for its hatchery system because the state does not have the native sources to spawn the species.

The fish stocked in 2021 should reach a fishable size of 14 inches in 2023 and begin to exceed 20 inches in 2024.
