This month's speaker is Jacob Smith. He will present his Wilkes University research findings on the Bowman's Creek watershed and acid deposition remediation techniques for the stream. All are welcome!View attachment 1641238016

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.
 
I spoke with Jacob Smith, he would be happy to answer any questions by email fishjake101@gmail.com. Also, the meeting was recorded and will be posted shortly on the chapter website sctu.org
