Default To stock or not to stock a wild trout stream. That is the question.

No. (Not to the discussion). No to the stocking of sterile Bows to satisfy
the "kill 'em & Grill 'Em" crowd. The Battenkill is a national
treasure....and should be treated accordingly. Correct the habitat problems
and the trout will come back strong.

"Quick Fix" solutions usually cause more problems than they "fix".
Unfortunately...too many fishermen look at the "now".....instead of the
future. Sad, really.

PS: Too many fishermen want Bows (a great trout when wild, by the
way)..because they're too ffing stupid to catch Browns. 'Nuff said.
