Every summer NDOW staff and volunteers head to western Nevada's beautiful Marlette Lake for the annual Marlette Lake Broodstock Spawning Project. The eggs we get from this project provide our fish hatcheries with most of the trout we stock in waters across the state.

In this week's Nevada Wild, NDOW's Ashley Sanchez and Aaron Keller sit down with Native Aquatic Staff Specialist Chris Crookshanks and Western Region Fisheries Supervisor Kim Tisdale to explain the project, its history, its importance to recreational fishing in Nevada, and how you can get involved.

Buy your fishing license at ndowlicensing.com, and find stocking updates and fishing reports here. Keep an eye on this page for a chance to volunteer for the project next year! 

Nevada Wild is available for download on SoundCloud and  iTunes. It also airs on 99.1 FM Talk at 10 a.m. every Sunday morning in Northern Nevada and live online. Southern Nevada listeners can hear Nevada Wild on the Highway Vibe at 9 a.m. on Saturday mornings.
