Ernie,
I agree with you 100 percent.

James,
I have no objection to stocking where natural reproduction can't take
place. Stocking places where natural reproduction is possible is
detrimental to natural trout.

Why be disgusted at something that gives people pleasure? Happy people
are
nicer to be around Relatively harmless activity in most states
where
put and take stocking occurs where natives would not exist anyway.

Yes,
1. Stocked trout don't belong in any water where natural reproduction
is
possible.
2. Only Catch and Release should be allowed in these waters.
I came across a bunch of hatchery trout in a lake that people were
trying
to catch. I told them to throw a hand full of small gravel at them.
They
did, which sent the fish into a feeding frenzy and they started
catching
them. I walked away in disgust and wondered if any of the people knew
what
it was like to catch a real trout with a full set of fins.

Even more amazing was the fact that within a couple of hours
of going into the water they were going after woolly buggers!
Any comments?
