Lol good luck with your metallic green nymphs, buggers, and foam beetles...I'm sure they will continue to produce stockies and the odd native brookie now and again.
The moment of truth. Where all other things unconsciously melt away from our minds the instant a fish takes our fly. We stand there on the water with wide eyes, caught in a battle stance with an idea of confidence and hope

With his last gasps the fish flopped on the banks where crazy juxtaposes with stupid, leaving a silt of full retard- which the poor gill hooked sport wallowed in as he vainly attempted to salvage a shred of dignity, but in doing so- lost any chance he had at it. ...And the happy fisherman went on his merry way.

I fished Greenmans for the first time since the salt incident last week. There was one rainbow in the hole, caught it, released it, and went further down behind the trail parking lot and didn't see anything.
The fishing club has stocked it in late Nov/early Dec the last couple years. I dont remember them even stocking it until a few weeks into trout season earlier this year, but that was prob due to the high water we had this past spring.
Anyone know when the club plans on stocking again?

Two local school districts have also been releasing 80 to 100 4inch brook trout into Peters Creek as well over the past 6 years. South Park MS and Thomas Jefferson MS have what they call the trout in the classroom project. Student raise trout from eggs and release each may into the creek. Most will not survive but with any luck some will and maybe just maybe make this a very nice fishing hole in the future. (Without any more spills to kill all the fish) SPMS releases their fish just below Green mans by the parking lot and TJ does it further down stream closer to Rt.51 i believe.

My god daughter is apart of that trout program. Over the holidays she was telling me her class released a bunch by the Montour Trial Bridge.
I caught one earlier this year and thought it was native (and was very very confused by it) until the other day.

The fish commission has had phone call complaining about people catching fish that are only 5 or 6 inches. Thinking that the comish only stocks bigger fish. We believe that these are the fish that the schools are releasing, showing that some are surviving!

Sounds like a great program for the kids. Do the fish have a chance of surviving though? Does Peters remain cool in the summer? I have never fished it, but if the stream has brookies in the 5-10" I would be all over it. I am like 5 mins from it.

I'm about a 2min drive from the trail parking lot. The one I caught was about 4". I would be very surprised if any would be able to survive longterm.

I think anything is possible as far as the small ones living long term. The water-main break and a few years ago the chemical spill are the biggest threats to the long term success. Low levels and other pray is all natural and can be survived. I just wish that the fish that the schools put in could reproduce but that is bread out of them at the hatchery.

I would be stunned if this stream stayed below 70 in the summer. Why arent they raising smallies to put in the stream? I want to see the brook trout thrive as much as the next guy, but I just dont think its possible in the streams around here. They just get too warm.

+1 smallies would make more sense. Or musky, catfish, walleye, minnows even.

There used to be sauger in the greenmans hole back in the day. Smallies might work but its a relatively shallow creek.

The brookie fry that are given to the schools by the pfbc are extras that are left over from the breeding/stocking program. Once they have as many as they need for the annual nursery stock, they get rid of the rest so that they don't waste nursery resources.

At least they're putting char in there and not some disgusting trout.

The problem is you got to see whose in charge cause I joined a trout club in junior high and the picture on the club was a bass, they raised trout though and stocked them as fingerlings and didn't survive.

We talked about doing small mouth but the state only provides trout with a grant. If we can find a way to afford raising the SM then we may give it a try...
