Alabama Divisionof Wildlifeand Freshwater Fisheries stocking programs 11125/2003

Alabama Division of Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries stocking programs Page 2 of 2 Mr. Nichols, Per our telephone conversation, I'm attempting to assemble state agency fish stocking information for TVA reservoirs and tailwaters. This information request is related to a two year Reservoir Operations Study the agency has undertaken. I'm hoping to get information related to species stocked, locations of the stocking, time of year stocking occurs, numbers stocked, and size of the stocked fish. The most recent four years of data would be sufficient Ifthat's possible. The Alabama. TVA reservoirs involved in this study include Guntersville, Wheeler, Wilson, Pickwick. Bear Creek, Little Bear Creek. Upper Bear Creek, and Cedar Creek. Any information you can provide would be very much appreciated. You'" find contact information below ifyou have any questions. Ifthe information you have is in electronic format, TVA is currently running Microsoft Windows XP and Microsoft Word. Excel, and Access 2002. My mailing address also follows if the information is in hard copy format. Thanks again for you willingness to help.

Re: Alabama Division of Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries stocking programs

Kenny, Our Mussel Management Supervisor, Jeff Garner, keeps up with commercial mussel harvest. As far as commercial fishing, we do not have any formal protocol for tracking that. You could contact Keith Floyd and Dan Catchings, they are our District Supervisors that work our TVA reservoirs. They might be of some help.
