From what I can find...
Current LT stocking target numbers are 500,000 fingerlings. With the 20% "cut" in place for 2017 that number was reduced to 400,000.
Only real surprise is that the Feds will not be hitting their target for Lake Trout Stockings. M
2014= 971,000 lake trout (443,000 yearling; 528,000 experimental fall fingerlings)
2015= 975,600 lake trout (520,900 yearling; 454,700 experimental fall fingerlings)
2016= 384,250
2017= unknown exactly but less than 300,000
Fall fingerlings were eliminated from the stocking program and I believe the target is now 500,000 yearlings. The Lake Trout stocking in 2017 will obviously take a bigger hit than the initial 20% cut.
Thursday, March 9: 6:30 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) campus (Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science building (76-1125) - Carlson Auditorium), Rochester, Monroe County. The meeting is co-hosted by RIT and the Monroe County Fishery Advisory Board.
