Here is a link to the AGFC video of the Trout Unlimited egg planting on the Norfork.

When was the last planting of egg boxes? 

Are more planned? 

Would there be benefit from doing Brown Trout Egg boxes in the White?

The last planting was in June of this year. We planted at Rim Shoals on the White and then just downstream of McClelland's on the Norfork.

They don't plant brown trout eggs because they are somewhat successful at natural spawning in the river, hence the closure of the C&R section below the dam during the winter spawning period.

I haven't heard if there will be another planting next year.

BTW, I did catch a small Bonneville on Monday below Roundhouse Shoals. Probably from last year's plant.

Cool. Always good to see pics of the results. Was that on the Norfork or the White?
