An attempt was made to establish a coho salmon (Onchorhnychus kisutch) fishery in Pallette Lake, a 169-acre, oligotrophic lake in north central Wisconsin. Age 0 coho stocked in October 1968 grew only 5.4 inches in length and 116 grams in weight during three years in the lake. Age 1 coho stocked in April 1969 grew only 4.2 inches and 91 grams in 2 1/2 years. Growth of Age 1 coho stocked in October 1970 could not be determined because none were captured by electrofishing or in fyke nets and because angler harvest was selective for fish over 10.0 inches. Few coho from either the 1968 or 1969 stocks ever attained the minimum legal size of 10.0 inches. Though a few coho lived until their fourth fall in Pallette Lake, survival during the first two years was poor.
