Re: The Middle Brook 1/27/19:
I might be wrong but I think the local C.O,'s have a say in where the signs are posted and where the fish are to be stocked or not. In order for changes to be made, that information has to get back to hierarchy. That stretch has virtually no parking and the stream downstream from the quarry was dredged and widened years ago to alleviate flooding and is hardly an inviting stretch. The upper stretch has a trout stream look, but accessibility, as was mentioned, is a problem. That area was probably not as well-traveled many years ago, and is still on the stocking list. I'm sure it's not the only trout stocked waterway that has been traditionally stocked for years with no evaluation of its current conditions. Good money after bad! And license fees keep going up!
