Apparently those fish have just recently tested positive so the only safe and logical step would be to euthanize them. Considering over 90,000 of them were slated for those '1-time' stockings and it's likely a safe bet that more than the remainder were scheduled for those increased numbers in other 'non-trout' waters I'm betting it won't have much impact on the rest of the proposed spring stocking schedule.
That aside it's also the right thing to do for the overall health of the hatchery and the fish remaining there. Now they can proceed sooner than planned with disinfecting those raceways to prepare them to recieve the fry that will soon enough be coming out of the nursery building.

It's certainly one hell of a 'bump in the road' for this years trout fishing but I'm not worried myself. I have every confidence that aside from a shift in the species percentages, things will be very near if not completely normal come next spring.

For now I'm just waiting to see the newly revised stocking schedule that this latest occurrence has forced the staff to devise. I have a pretty fair idea of all that goes into developing the schedule and allocations for the entire state, and frankly it's a logistical nightmare this year that I wouldn't want to have to deal with, especially given the time crunch they're facing now!
