I don’t mind supporting the NYS-DEC, they seem to have their ish properly together
Indeed. Let's plan a trip up there soon. All this talk about stocked fish has really got me craving the wilds, big fish that can ACTUALLY fight. I need an excuse to get that Nymphmaniac. Won't surprise me if a main stem bow breaks it in half. You know me, I gotta learn the hard way. And no, I won't be buying a new set of waders and boots just for the occasion, but if someone more passionate about this area of gear cleanliness wants to buy me some, I'll gladly take them up on that offer.
Why the hell are they even stocking the Lackawanna? Thing already has some of the most freakishly large naturally reproducing wild brown trout I've seen in a waterway that size.
Culture. Stocking rules in PA.
Nothing like taking a nice poop water and AMD-marinated mushmouth home to the pan
Better for the garden.
We have to remember the children guys, we all know millions of stocked rubber invasive trout have been recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics for normal childhood development. Children who grow up catching catfish, sunnies, fall fish, creek chubs, pickerel, small mouth, largemouth, perch, walleyes, rockbass all wind up in jail.
I find the AMD is neutralized in the garden by adding large limestone rocks to your garden here and there. It also adds decorative appeal and helps keeps weeds down. The nitrate just helps things grow.
One of my cousins never had access to stocked trout and he ended up becoming a heroin addict... so sad.
No no, it was me. We were told earlier, it was me.
Well can your Tesla make vroom vroom noises? Also that car won't be beneficial for your garden when it catches fire, and IT WILL catch fire at some point.
I got mine in special Vegan Tweed so the ashes should be fine.
I don’t think that it was “a bunch” of these mud snail streams that were stocked by Benner based upon my review that revealed what I would call the most likely historical county stocking assignments. Based on knowledge of county assignments (Northampton Co) and the logic behind my review for determining the most likely other counties’ hatchery assignments I am estimating that Benner stocked 6 of 23 streams on the list. Five of those streams have special reg areas, and the other is frequented by anglers from many locations based on the historical threads here about that stream. So if one agrees that sources could be hatcheries or anglers, particularly when it comes to the mobile behavior of special reg anglers, then there’s not much clarity as to the source of the mud snails in those 5 streams. Adding to the fog is that it’s not known where the mud snails were found in the streams.
