Suddenly, Green Bay has thousands more fish.

State and federal wildlife officials have stocked 36,000 brown
trout in the bay between Marinette and Sturgeon Bay in effort to
dramatically boost the population.

They say predators such as birds and walleye have hurt the bay's
brown trout numbers. They stocked the fish in such large numbers
and in deeper water in hopes more will survive for anglers to
catch.

The trout were raised at the DNR's Brule River State Fish
Hatchery.
