Franklin/Union counties, IN — The Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) recently completed its annual stocking of striped bass and hybrid striped bass in several lakes around the state.
Brookville Lake in Franklin and Union counties was stocked with 72,600 striped bass.
Indiana does not have the native sources to spawn striped and hybrid striped bass. DNR relies on commercial sources and state partners to supply fry for its hatchery system.
The fish stocked in 2021 should reach a fishable size of 14 inches in 2023 and begin to exceed 20 inches in 2024.
