Missouri's next record brown trout

[Travis Swift]

I would think with this kind of success and growth rates they would want to stock some more at some point?  even if they put them in every 3 years or so it would put some monster fish in the lake for a long time.

From what I gathered, the first two stockings were trial runs, so to speak. Shane told me they thought they'd only live to be 7 years old..well, not the case. There is a lot that goes into it from the MDC standpoint. First thing I think of is how would a surplus of voracious browns effect the ecosystem of the lake?

Stocking of rainbows would turn into feeding of browns.

There is definitely no shortage of stocker rainbows in Taneycomo. Throw in more triploids!

As long as the browns stick to the regulations...

Heck stock some in Table Rock, see if they survive.  If they do, with all the shad present, could be some big stinking browns.

Nope. Trump said you can't trust the brown ones.

         Oh boy Quill!

  You have opened up a can of worms. I think the ditch pickle fishermen and women would rather have a few hundred stripers dumped in? .  Ok shouldn't of said ditch Pickle. Should be Stinkin green fish. Nope wrong again that should be the various varieties of black bass.

    How would more  triploids mess up the system in Taney? It is already managed for non natives that are there because of the dam and cold water discharge right? Not saying what has been done is wrong as the trout are taking place of other fish because of the dam,
