Updated Trout Stocked Waters
Which trout stocked waters do you think can be removed from the stocking list? Which waters can afford to have their allocations reduced? Does the state need to stock trout in lakes that are managed for muskies? Should lakes with very limited shoreline access have their quotas reduced? I know that the numbers of stocked trout have been the same since forever. Shouldn't there be an updated accounting? What are your ideas?

Re: Updated Trout Stocked Waters
Good question. Id reconsider the stocking points that lay on Wild Trout Streams. I cant say much about other bodies of water. There's such a large # of spring stockies that it's understandable how they're tossed everywhere to make all the anglers of the state interested.

Any water listed NO KILL should get NO TROUT.

Re: Updated Trout Stocked Waters
The issue is that many trout are lost to predators and poor water conditions during the summer so I feel they should still be stocked. Fishermen are not the only reasons that trout disappear.

Re: Updated Trout Stocked Waters
Then why have a no-kill stretch at all? If the fish are going to die to predators or temperature anyway, why not allow anglers to keep them before that happens?

PA does it better with delayed harvest sections vs. no-kill

Remove trout stocking from the urban/public ponds. Trout are taken before opening day, people fishing without licenses.
The conservation officers are spread thin enough and can not patrol the entire state every day. This stock fish in urban areas plan to try to increase interest or license sales does not work but yet some good lakes in Sussex, Morris and Passaic Counties have been dropped from stocking over the years. |

Check out my reply on the end of the ‘Trout Meeting March 2’ thread. I agree that for the BFB C&R section a ‘DHALO’ reg set would be more appropriate.

Re: Updated Trout Stocked Waters
Im pretty sure "no kill" isnt about keeping a river abundant with trout, it's more like a trick to convince CnR anglers that they are separated from the put-and-take mindset.
Not sure about that, sure some people break the rules but I think trout stocking ponds does increase interest/sales a bit. No hard evidence. I just know from experience at two urban ponds that people are trout fishing around it. |
