I wasn't able to check out the presentation on Bowmans Creek.

Did they discuss the native brook trout population in upper Bowmans Creek, in the state gamelands? And did they discuss stocking vs not stocking over that native brook trout population?

There were native brook trout up there before any liming was done, and at that time no trout were stocked.

After the liming of the tribs began, then stocking began over the native brook trout. I don't know if that stocking still occurs. I don't think it was done by the PFBC, but by someone else.
