Trout stocking in lakes and streams will likely be delayed this “Spring”. Road weight restrictions and unplowed landings cause the problems. I talked to one of the stocking truck drivers last week and he had been stuck 3 times already.

Making a hole with an auger and bucket carrying or piping them in works.

Intriguing that the infamous golden stream of Vernon County got some brooders.  Wonder if it has something to do with the lack of big fish what with the gross overabundance of 8-11 inch browns in there and a catch and release only regulation throughout its entire length.  Some harvest would do that water some good.  


I get why it's C&R - serves as a nice comparison for the other regulations in the watershed and area. Hard to see what effect regulations have without some sort of control.

I prefer to fish the streams in that area where there is more harvest. In general, I'm seeing more decent fish in that watershed - many more outside of 8-11" than there used to be. Maybe it's harvest, maybe it's something else like the effects of floods reducing numbers a bit?



I think he's referring to one of the forks, not TC. There are no C and R regs on that fork anymore. It's all 5 bag, no min. Check the regs.

If you're only catching 8-11 inch browns there, you're doing something wrong.

Brooders are stocked on the lower end from what I hear.

Actually I was referring to TC.

From the sounds of it, those weren't really hatchery brood stock. They were wild fish collected in the stream this fall, held to collect eggs and returned to the stream. They are working on fixing the list so TC isn't on there.

Makes sense.  Thanks for the clarification.
