Hello Fellow Anglers,
As many of you may know, the PFBC has been stocking fingerling trout throughout the Lehigh down to about Palmerton for a few years now and are now entering a phase where they will try to assess the viability of the program. Over the past year we have seen some amazing growth rate for fingerling trout, rainbows in particular, and we are hopeful that the PFBC will find that the trout that they have been stocking will have a positive influence on the fishery.
We need your help! In addition to survey boxes located at many popular fishing spots along the river we have created an online reporting system located here:
http://www.thelehighriver.org/survey.php
If you catch any trout while fishing the Lehigh River, please take the time to report your catch and also pay attention for fin clips while fishing as these will help to assess if/when the fish may have been stocked by the PFBC or other organizations such as the LRSA.
Snail mail cards are located at the aforementioned boxes located at some of the more popular fishing locations and angler log books can be downloaded from the PFBC here:

PS - Mods, if this can be stickied in the reports section or something else can be done to keep it visible and noticed we would be grateful. This is a very important phase for the Lehigh and will determine the extent of future involvement by the PFBC in the trout fishery in the lower section of the river. Thank you!
