Since some of you are fishing already I thought it would be a good idea to put the 2016 poll up here. This poll was created to keep track of how many King Salmon are either naturally reproduced or stocked in our waters. Please enter only true data as false data does no body any good. Please vote for every fish you catch and have note of. It is very easy to tell if the King is wild or stocked by the adipose fin.
We collected some great data from everyone last year, and we were actually right in line with what the Dnr's concluded.
Thank you and best of luck!

Thanks for doing this! A lot of interesting info. Also, if you will remind me, I will post the ratio of wild and stocked chinooks (and lake trout) that the federal headhunters stationed in Michigan City have at the end of the season - probably available in december or january

Great work remembering to post your kings here guys. Trending around 74% natural right now. If you guys didn't know, that is about right on par with the whole state of michigan last year.
Keep those drags screaming boys.

Hey Guys - the votes on the 2016 were accidentally reset. Please revote all of the fish that you can from this year if you are able to. Sorry for the inconvenience.

That sucks i went through my log book of the year we have 19 kings for the year but I did not record how many were wild I would guess maybe 7 or 8 were stocked fish
It's better to ask forgiveness than for permission.
The South End provides useful resources and discussion forums for those that fish The South End of Lake Michigan for Salmon, Steelhead, Perch, and Bass as well as elsewhere in the Region and Chicago area.
