Trout season opening,,,you know what that means.

i woulda followed that guy. this is the kind of stuff that just errks me right up the chain.  If things don't turn around 'm calling the commission this year. between my buddies and i, that right there is a few hundred dollars in licenses not bought.

thank heavens for the red lines my spelling has really gone down hill over the years

Actually, any trout except for the Brook(which is actualy related to the char) are non-natives. The tiger is the result of cross breeding.
The Brookie is our state fish.

Yeah, I helped stock one day last year and ran into a real piece of work...part biologist, part knowledgeable local, part PFBC insider, part expert fly fisherman, and all full of sheet.

He was good natured, though, so most of the people just let him go. I did kind of have to cringe when he was explaining about tiger trout being non-native compared to the browns and bows.

One of the other guys, upon learning it was my first time helping to stock, added, "See, now you know where to go trout fishing this week." To which I had to say, "Yep, same native streams I've been fishing since February, but now I'll know exactly where you guys are too." He got a kick out of that.

Yes, thank you. That was my point.

Should have seen the group of 2 or 3 20-something guys and 2 40-50-somethings with them that pulled in about 10 minutes before we got done stocking. Had all their gear ready, and then sat down by the water and watched as we carried buckets to the water. As soon as they could tell we weren't putting any more in, they waded in and started fishing.

That guys name is jack call him out he usually keeps a lot of fish and has a huge fish fry in the summer. Hes been doing that for years. He helps stock alot for the kids tho on the stoneycreek for the kids days.

Besides the bens creek in somerset county is stocked 2 more times that nearly no one knows about or when it happens. Instead of raggin on a guy who keeps pellet heads after he helps stock fish in alot of the river rag on the guy across the street in the white house with a fence who cut down every tree on that side of the mountain and drove his tree trucks through the river with no bridge. Then rag on the people who installed all the sewage lines along the river and cut down most of the trees that kept that river shaded. I grew up on that river no more then a mile from the bp I thought the sewage lines would clean the river up instead of raw sewage dumping right into the river. i was wrong.

I'm not ragging on him for keeping any pelletheads, I'm ragging on him for being an arrogent jerk when people ask him questions about places where he is taking OUR trout. As far as the logging,,,I agree and understand that guy is or was messed up on drugs and was desprate for money at least thats what I hear. I have no problem with helping out the kids but no one should use that as a reason to act like an****any other time. His job is to fill the buckets give them to the guys, thats where his job ends and ours begins.

This guy out on Laurel Hill Creek throwing three ounce pyramid sinkers into trees, with a six pack of IC Light tallboys hanging from his hip waders?

Yeah, It's hard to keep a straight face or your mouth shut when guys like that act so foolish. If I didn't work for a living and didn't have better things to do, I'd put a tank in the back of my pick-up and follow the trucks and wardens around all spring and act like an****
