Each feature in this dataset represents a release water that has been stocked by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Release water is defined as a surface water where fish stocking took place. A single release water may be a moving water such as a portion of a stream or river, or a non-moving water such as a lake, reservoir, or pond. The locations are generalized, and do not represent specific locations of stocking. Note that there may be multiple fish planting sites on a designated water during a stocking event but only one is represented for each stocked water.
