Cherokee’s fish-stocking program, by the pound.

The EBCI Natural Resources Department continually stocks the rivers at over 200 locations across Cherokee’s Qualla Boundary. The report below shows the previous and projected quantity of fish, in pounds, per month. Please consider that these numbers might vary slightly due to unforeseen circumstances, such as high water conditions or special events. They do provide, however, a good indication of Cherokee’s commitment to fish stocking—and your very fun day on the water.

Stocking does not take place during the tribal trout hatchery’s annual audit week or tribal government closures. We appreciate your understanding.
