MDC Lake Taneycomo 2016 EF Survey Report

2016 Lake Taneycomo Trout Sampling Summary.pdf

Here is the annual report for Lake Taneycomo.

Shane Bush gave a very good presentation at last night's Branson Chapter of Trout Unlimited.  He explained this report as well as telling us why Taney experienced a fish kill last fall, in the lake and at the hatchery.  I should have and will post that information on the latter report soon.

Look at the >16 rainbow numbers... biggest number in the history of the survey.  And that's after a fish kill in November last year.

At the meeting, it was mentioned that the good number COULD be due to 17% less trout stocked this year.  Less fish, more to eat, better growth rate?  They are thinking...

Hey Phil

Do you know how they calculate the relative body weight value that they are reporting?

Looks like some good opportunities for decent fish down your way this fall/winter.

Don't know for sure except they measure length and weight and use a formula.

Would someone explain the reference to PSD13, PSD16 and PSD20?
