This Is Bull

Went after Trout right where the spring comes into the river. 

Only seen two caught.  My wife said well they will stock for the weekend. Truth be known I think they are being stingy with their stocking. 

Thinking around here fish for Redhorse much better. 

I was thinking Montauk but I don't know if it is any better after the flood and all.

Oh well seen and Eagle having same luck.

If that's outside the park, the stockings should only be 5-6 times a year, I think. That's  a "White Ribbon" stream and I was told the "white Ribbon" streams that I fish  are budgeted for five stockings per year. (Roaring River, Capps, Hickory )

Right at the confluence, there may be Park fish that have moved downstream that would make it seem like it's stocked more frequently. But if you want heavy stockings, they do the spring branch daily, don't they?

See the Hatchery has been down for months so they have had to bring fish in. They quit stocking the river like they use to for years. This makes at least two years that the Hatchery has been down. 

I'm thinking they had to find fish for Merrimack and Montauk this year. They have been all over with stocking ponds in the cities for Winter. 

Hey you have to raise fish to have any to stock and I think things are catching up with them. 

I know this isn't fishing but catching one time 3 of us went to the access with one Rod in a half hour we all had our limits of 5. Yes this was a few years ago.

5 stockings in 12 months means there may be a couple of months or more between stockings. For as close to the park as that is the stocked fish may last a week or ten days and that means there will be a lot of fishless days in a year.   They will source fish from private hatcheries to keep the park stocked. But don't you prefer suckers?

True on the Suckers if I had a Gigging Boat and was able to stand I would be out there every night. 

This year nothing but nice weather. 

I've seen when ice was getting on everything.
