    No hatchery trout should ever be stocked over native trout. Hatchery trout are bred to grow fast on dog chow. Hatchery trout have not had their genes honed by millions of years of wild survival. Hatchery trout compete for space & food with wild natives. That being said, there IS a place for hatchery trout where there are no native trout or, for put-and-take habitats that can’t support wild natives.

    Each fishery is unique. I think the needs to be true stewarts of a river system is very important. That said, setting any regs without monitoring is why so many rivers suffer. I know of wild trout streams that are over populated and bigger fish no longer survive. Culling can be very important in some systems. Some rivers are so popular that stocking helps protect the wild fish. Water quality needs regular monitoring. Stream restoration can also be a very very important requirement. Bottom line regular monitoring is what will help keep more fisheries healthy. For every action, there is a reaction, and oftentimes, a straight no stocking, no kill reg will not be the right answer. It's just not that simple.

    • @troutstrike

      I agree with you on not stocking fish in wild trout habitat! This is really difficult because trout are often stocked into tribs that are part of a larger river system that is able to sustain wild fish. I do believe that wild fish populations would thrive in many places that were not stocked; however, I understand the need for the state stocking program to generate revenue, etc.

    I wish we cared about protecting native brook trout as much as introduced species. I also wish people were as concerned with preserving other species (such as native fallfish) as much as some preferred gamefish species. I fish only catch and release and do not chase stocked fish. But I am more concerned with preserving native species than I am non-native species, wild or not.

      @troutstrike 3 місяці тому

      Hi David! Perdigons were originally designed by competition anglers. They are tied this way to have a quick sink rate. The large bead gives the fly the mass it needs to sink. The thin body creates less resistance. Perdigons will work anywhere. They’re especially effective in fast/heavy current because they drop in the water column so quickly.
