Jolly Mill area private property?

They stock the fish from the bridge. Many years ago they stocked by the old wooden bridge (sadly it collapsed recently) and at the mill pond. They also used to stock the middle of the stream where the ford is and then down below at the other bridge. They would actually pull down to those spots, but now they just stock off the bridge or at least that is what I gather since there isn't any where to pull down to those spots any more. That and the last few years they haven't really stocked any numbers to speak of. If you were  able to hook up with several fish then they just stocked. Otherwise it would have been tougher on you to fish! BTW I have parked there several times and seen others park and fish there as well. Maybe new people are living there taking care of the park now. They do hire a caretaker for the park and they live in that first house going into the park.

I saw that the old Bridge had collapsed, stood on it many a times catching crawdads.  Glad no one was hurt, at least I haven't heard of anyone being injured in the collapse.

You never know where the fish get stocked, fish scheduled for one creek might end up in another, the guy unloading fish in a place I didn't think was meant to be stocked told me he was in a hurry to get home that day and it was on his route.there. Those "Secret Creeks" don't have trout naturally, somebody stocked them.

I'm pretty sure they stock at Walleye Rd bridge? For sure the numbers are not like they were in the long ago, but I'm guessing the bait guys still watch for stocking dates and clean up for a few days? A bucketful is still the limit?

For sure stock at walleye rd bridge and at the parking lot above that on the other aide of the field. Also stock at the park. The hatchery manager from roaring told me this.
