The U.S. Army Corps of engineers Pittsburgh District partnered with the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission to plan and complete a fish restock at Woodcock Creek Lake at Saegertown, Pennsylvania, Oct. 12, 2021. The Pittsburgh District purchased a restock of fish that included 325 walleye, 250 muskellunge, 16,000 golden shiner and 32,000 fathead minnows. The restock was conducted to help replenish the fish population at Woodcock, which suffered a loss in March when a malfunction caused an unexpected drop in pool from the lake, sending many fish downstream. The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission partnered with the Pittsburgh District by conducting several fish studies over the months and offered guidance on which fish and how many to restock.
