{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Trout stocking impacts ecosystem

When I was in Michigan this spring there were signs everywhere against the Au Sable fish farm, which has finally made its way to MI state legislature.

I've never really seen the appeal of stockers other than I guess the benefit of reducing pressure on native populations from fisherman. But having tried to fish a couple days after a stocking, from what I've seen stockings typically attract the same types of guys who trash the potomac shoreline every spring during the shad run. Not to mention fishing for stockers is a lot like hunting farm raised birds, they're in a foreign element with no real understanding of how to survive or evade predation.
