WALL OF FAME

April 30, 2026

Welcome to the newest installment of the Wall of Fame! The Department gets so many submissions for the Weekly Fishing and Stocking Report during this time of year that it's impossible to fit all of them in – but we wanted to give everyone who submits a photo a chance to show off their catch! Over the next several months, the Weekly Fishing and Stocking Report will feature one photo from each region as that region's Catch of the Week. All other photos can be found here in the Wall of Fame, which will be updated each Thursday afternoon after the Fishing and Stocking Report is released. You'll be able to find the link on the Fishing and Stocking Report page on the Department's website. Please note that only submissions with photos included will be considered for inclusion in the Catch of the Week or Weekly Wall of Fame.
