Might indicate that they are done stocking until the fall.
No, that's not it. The "map" has black pushpins with spots that have already been stocked, and purple diamonds with ones that remain to be stocked.There are still a fair number of purple diamonds left on the map - - at least out here in the Western District.
I'll be curious if those purple diamonds turn to black push pins. I think they were dumping extra fish into spots so they could get the stocking done in the event a more strict shelter in place order was executed. We shall see.
a lot of places are getting closed down. it's only a matter of time....
I thought I saw a post earlier (maybe not on this thread) about Plug's Pond in Haverhill being closed due to people not distancing. Anyway, I was there yesterday and it was open. There is a sign at the entrance restricting some of the shoreline near the parking lot and reminding people to maintain an appropriate distance. The good news is that I found this to be true in all cases. Everyone there was spaced out along the shoreline with at least 10 feet between. I don't think I saw any groups of more than two people, unless there were kids with them. Lots of people in kayaks. Didn't catch anything and wish I had brought my fly rod since saw lots of rises and some mayflies coming off.
A trolled hornberg is your friend...flat fish is a good fish taker there orange with. Black dots.. bumblebee rooter tail is good when the water warms up.
