They release some trout over the 16" mark but not many of them stay in the wading area of the tailrace.

That said, I assume the Sipsey flows into a lake where the Striped Bass come from. They seem to know when the trout are stocked and come to dinner during that time. It also seems that they can't get above the pump station or I'm sure they'd be feasting up there too. Good post.

They provide the fly fishing experience to many that would never know the joy of landing a trout on a fly. But they will never match the performance of wild trout.<br /><br />Rainbows are easily bred and grow pretty rapidly in hatcheries. This enables them to be stocked several times through out the year. I think brown trout would be better to stock if long term survival is needed.<br /><br />Brk Trthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677442640158367831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8518971929369280752.post-88341926511956035262021-10-29T13:53:08.810-04:002021-10-29T13:53:08.810-04:00Hi Bill.

They do something similar here, stocking trout large enough to avoid being swallowed by cormorants. Thanks for the interesting note.Justinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04433681753406581886noreply@blogger.com
