Questions about North Dakota stocking

Can I see North Dakota stocking by county?
Yes. Every one of the 52 North Dakota counties with stocked water has its own page listing that county's waters, its recent stockings and any dates announced ahead.
How current is this North Dakota stocking information?
The record on this page is rebuilt every morning from North Dakota Game and Fish Department's own publications. It was last read Oct 22. Schedules change without notice, sometimes the morning of the stocking, so check the agency's page before a long drive.
Which North Dakota waters have live conditions?
2 North Dakota waters carry a USGS gauge, so their page shows the current level, the flow against the seasonal normal and the water temperature where the gauge reports one.
All rows come from North Dakota Game and Fish Department publications (official page). Schedules change without notice, sometimes the same morning. Seasons, limits, and licenses: North Dakota fishing regulations.
