History & Status of the Fishery
Tuscarora Lake is stocked annually by the Tuscarora Lake Association with approximately 4,000 walleye fingerlings. No recent fisheries survey has been done on this water by the department because of the lack of an "official" access location. However, because of the number of anglers that fish the water by using the informal access points, the department will likely be surveying this water in the near future.
