Fishing Reports

Chautauqua Hatchery is located near the Village of Mayville in Chautauqua County. This is the only DEC hatchery currently raising pure strain muskellunge, which are obtained from netting and egg collection on Chautauqua Lake and in some years from Waneta Lake. Pond-reared walleye fingerlings are also grown at this hatchery. Total production is 3,300 pounds annually. Operating expenses were $77,000 in 1997/98, which includes an important contract for small minnows used to feed the highly predatory muskies.
