Approximately 100,049 catchable-sized Pilot Peak LCT were stocked into Lake Tahoe over the summer of 2023 in support of the Phase II LCT assessment for LCT. A subset of stocked LCT (25,000) were tagged with t-bar anchor tags to learn more about growth, survival, and movement in the Lake. Stocking also served to provide the public an opportunity to learn more about this iconic species and provided a more diverse recreational angling opportunity in Lake Tahoe. Outreach and education on this project in 2023 included: Washoe Tribe of California and Nevada Earth Day and SWEP environmental outreach day.
