Numbers of Browns should be less affected.Always stocked in much lower numbers and a lot more natural reproduction

less numbers of stocker rainbows in the river will probably mean heavier fish too I bet.

I think there is plenty of food to go around, but the fish we catch will have been in the river a while and should be Fat and Happy. 
I know more than a few people who advocated for drastically less stockings of fish. They will get to see if it what they hoped for.

the local economy will take a hit for sure. It’s easy to hate on the guide boats using shrimp and corn, but that family of four ate at restaurants and rented places to stay too. It’s not just the bait guide that is gonna lose some revenue
