About this report

This page lists the public fish plants the Michigan DNR has reported in Iron County over the last 12 months. It updates by itself every time the DNR posts new stocking reports. Private pond plants are left out. The DNR sometimes posts reports days or weeks after the fish go in, so a lake may have been stocked before it shows up here.

Want to know the day a new report posts? Stocked MI texts you when the DNR reports fish stocked in up to 3 counties you pick, for $40 a year or $5 a month. Sign up for Iron County alerts.
