Chuck, there was a small tackle shop in bentleyville that used to stock it, I haven't heard about or seen anyone else stock it since they moved. not saying that guy is wrong, but I never heard anything about it being stocked from someone else.
 
I do ok down at the mouth, it seams to be hit or miss for me, a few days ago we had a flathead playing with out bait, could't bring it in because we made some stupid mistakes.

The reason you caught that trout is that I caught 208 rainbow and brown trout out of elkhorn Creek 5 years ago and put them in the upper part of Pigeon. They have reproduced and now pigeon is now a wild trout stream. I have had conversations with both trouts unlimited and the DNR since then and and hoping to get some protection in the stream soon since the news is getting out. I have caught 7+ pound browns and 5 lb rainbows out of there over they last 5 years. What excites me most is catching the small ones that have hatched out in the steam.. the reason Trout can survive is because the source of pigeon is a coal mines and the water comes out very cold. High waters has washed some down stream and I know them caught below Lenore in deeper holes.

Hey pal. Unsure why you would respond in such a manner? You don’t know me as I you but I am a pastor a church for over 30 years and have no reason to lie. If you would like I could introduce you to plenty of witnesses to the fish I caught and placed in the creek as well as videos. I can show you videos of the 7 lb brown and the 5 lb rainbow as well as plenty other videos of the trout I have caught out of there that are dated back 5 years ago. I grew up on pigeon and have fished it since I knew what a rod and reel was. As a kid there was just creek chubs to catch in upper pigeon and I wanted to fish with my grand kids for fish that mattered. So I made it my goal to make it into a trout stream. And I now have videos of my grandsons catching rainbow in pigeon, and I’m proud of that and I hope you fish it and catch them also. God bless

Not to put words in porks mouth, but I think he's referring to the fact that you said you put in fish 5 years ago, but were replying to a thread from 2013. It's great the fishery is doing well. Hope you didn't just burn your secret spot too badly.
