At a recent sportsman club meeting, a question was brought up that seemed to divide the room almost 50/50.
Someone brought up the fact that the "clubs" stocking schedule was being posted online. And this person felt that the club stockings should only be made available to club members. What do you guys think?
I was surprised how passionate some of the members feel that the trout that come from the clubs nursery, belong to the club members. The trout originate in Bellefonte, then the club feeds them, raises the money to feed them, etc.
Who do the trout belong to? Once the trout are stocked in a public stream, doesn't anybody with a legal license have a shot at them? Should dues paying members be given a "private" list? Please keep in mind this is not a private fishing club, the fish are all stocked in open, public streams.
