Hi all,
I was looking for some consult. A stream near my house--which held brook trout until ~2008--looks ripe for reintroduction (to me). After years of restoration and upcoming ground water trenches, I feel it will finally be brook-able 365 days a year. Some of you definitely know the stream in question..
*The plan was to gradually introduce 1-3 of these gems a few times, from a different ChesCo Stream to this one. They're on opposite sides of the county, probably a 55 minute journey with a pedal to the metal. (I can't quite figure out the situation with closer Brandywine BT tribs. If anyone would be willing to share some knowledge, I would be grateful 🙂
The current toolkit for this mission would be a 15 gal cooler, dual hose cordless aerator, a thermometer, and one of those beach wagons (treaded wheels). Does anyone have recommendations on how to keep small brookies healthy & happy for 1-2 hours? Do I sound fully manic?
I would welcome any advice or feedback whatsoever. This is a bit ambitious, but I've had this urge for a decade now. I think risking a few fish lives (high pop. origin stream) is worth this chance at habitat expansion for our precious char.
Best,
