History of trout stocking in the United States!

[RowJimmy]

Anybody know of any books that show the history of trout stocking and how the whole thing got started?

You can read?!

Try this one: An Entirely Synthetic Fish on Amazon.

I imagine that Paul Schullery's "American Fly Fishing" covers this topic. I think the old Cecil Heacox "The Compleat Brown Trout" does, too. If you're one of the young lions who is computer savvy, there's probably a place on the Internet where you can find it, too, but that's way beyond me.

I love you old guys, you're so darned cuuute!

Seriously, though, I'm no young lion, but I'm savvy enough to clickerate this link: http://books.google.com

Enter what you want, and see what comes up, like dis:

not a book, and not the U.S., but there's some excellent readings on the early days of the PFBC available in the form of reports to the governor.
