If you have fished between the lower end of Schuylkill Haven (Rt 443) and Rt 61's bridge in Pottsville.......

I have a question that stems from a concern about longer term RT survival in the Schuylkill. Our electrofishing reveals many RT fings present for a few months after stocking, but very few after a year. We capture few of the 9 to 13 inch fish, although we find some. The reverse seems to be true with the Browns. The last time that RT were stocked was 2013. What was your experience last year and in years prior with RT that we're say 9 inches and longer? Was your impression that they were common, sparse, in equal numbers as Browns, in lesser numbers than Browns (you caught how many Browns for each RT captured?), etc.? I am trying to check some angler data (logs) or recollections against our electrofishing data.
