Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Fall Trout Stocking Weekly Wrap: October 2-8, 2022

Its a nice time of year to be outside and stocking some streams gives people a chance to get out and fish without harassing the brook trout. Not all anglers are skilled enough to catch wild trout, especially kids. Also, many of the wild brown trout streams are special regulations which may not be how many anglers, including kids prefer to fish. Some people like to eat fish and while a wild trout tastes much better, its probably for the best that people who like to eat fish leave them alone.

I do not avoid Brown Trout. In fact, I target them quite frequently. We are actually lucky to have such robust populations of wild reproducing Brown Trout within two hours of DC.

I do not target stocked brown trout for the reasons I mentioned in my first post. They are not really fish.

Not sure what purpose they really serve. It seems silly that anglers can't wait a couple months for wild Trout to spawn. So, we put farm raised fish in waters with wild populations, or in water that can't sustain Trout other than the coldest months of the year? Money not well spent in my opinion. And it's not like you are learning any real Trout fishing skills by targeting farm raised fish, if anything your Trout angling skill probably suffer from engaging in the practice.

Just my thoughts. Curious what others think though,

I suppose you avoid brown trout as they are an imported invasive species?

The fish are here....and have been for millennia. Also, I would hardly classify farmed raised trout as fish.

We have plenty of wild and native trout to target within 2 hours of DC. Also, the tidewater portion of the Potomac is loaded with fish as well and can be fished year round.

I encourage every Trout angler on this forum to read: An Entirely Synthetic Fish by Anders Halverson.... I also encourage them to go catch some actual Trout this fall before the spawn begins.
