Fall Landlock Salmon

I think they may have gotten lost somewhere

Seriously, I'm guessing that if we don't get some serious rain real soon, a lot of flowing waters won't get stocked for the 2nd Fall in a row

I actually saw a stocking truck not far from where I live (driving, not parked) on October 11th, I checked the stocking reports the next several days after and nothing!  My guess is they could've just been checking water temperatures/flows. 

Looks like the last week of october we could get some precipitation.  Fingers crossed.

Your area gets a lot more attention.   The number of fish planted in the Aquarium is ridiculous....borderline wasteful.  Comes down to politics I bet....more people and more votes in Southern Maine.

they only put just over 7,000 trout and salmon in there last year, is that a lot ?    

Browns are the only fish that holdover in there, and maybe only 10% of them, just a guess.  I had to laugh when they put over 100 salmon in there at the end of June last year, in water approaching, if not, 70*F.  Solid Investment!

LOL.  Didn't you know that poached salmon is a delicacy

Getting OT, but Fall-related.  With the way the weather has been, they should consider extending the Sept. 30 closing date for month or 2.  Make it ALO/flies, C&R.  They do that in lot of other places.  The Shenandoah Nat'l Park is open ALL YEAR under those rules and the natives are doing just fine

haha!

just waiting for those stocking trucks now 

so the IFW is being sneaky; a bunch of lakes/ponds have already been stocked they just aren't putting it on the report for whatever reason.

I find that they usually wait a business day before posting, but I noticed several on the listing from this past week.

Another great post! Makes me want to get serious about fishing some running water!
