How many steelhead does Ohio stock each year?
ODNR lists 464,538 steelhead stocked in 2025 and a 450,000 target for 2026. An actual release total and a future target are different records; the target does not confirm completed 2026 releases.
Use the dated summary for the relevant year. Allocations, actual releases and strain mixes can differ. Do not convert the listed target into a timeless annual total or infer why an unlisted water was excluded.

FAQ
Does a stocking target confirm completed releases?
No. A target is a plan; use the actual release record for the year.
Does this establish the origin of every fish?
No. An individual fish origin and the contribution of natural reproduction need specific evidence.
