I'm not going to lie, this thread has me a little confused from a few different angles. Please excuse my ignorance as I live in Virginia and have no first hand knowledge of any of these streams. That being said I have a three questions which might make things a little clearer to me.
1. Are there sections of streams that have established st populations(class A) that get stocked over in that section?
2. If there are brook trout in the higher elevations of a stream would there be cause not to stock a lower warmer section?
3. What is the process in which PA decides what can be stocked(by the state or privately), is it a transparent process?
Just read post 28, which explains the whole issue.
We are listing streams where hatchery trout are stocked over populations of native brook trout.
Note that nothing is said or implied about stocking in Class A sections.
And nothing is said about stocking in sections BELOW native brook trout populations,
Just to repeat, we are listing streams where hatchery trout are stocked over populations of native brook trout.
That is all. It's very straightforward.
And what has been listed is a very small sampling of streams where this is being done. We are not going to be able to produce a full list, or anything close to that.
