One and one-half million fry were returned to the lakes where the eggs were taken. Wabamun Lake received million fry. The remaining million fry were put into rearing ponds and produced 915 450 fingerlings which were stocked into eight lakes. There were million trout stocked into 315 waterbodies in 1986. The species stocked were rainbow trout, eastern brook trout, brown trout, lake trout, cutthroat trout, and arctic grayling. A total of 124 400 small yellow perch were transferred from lakes where there are large numbers into 13 lakes to start new populations and expand fishing opportunities. The Cold Lake Fish Hatchery phased into production in 1986, although the official opening was scheduled for 1987. Walleye fingerlings were successfully raised in the 10 rearing ponds, and lake trout were incubated and reared for the first time. A contract to operate the Sundance Trout Rearing Station near Wabamun Lake, was awarded to a private operator to rear 150 000 yearling rainbow trout. The main focus of the Wildlife Branch in 1986/87 was in the areas of international waterfowl planning, species management planning for elk, moose, antelope and mule deer, continuation of the telephone hunter questionnaire, and the gathering of data which will assist in the management of threatened species. In addition, the Wildlife Branch becam
