Yeah rt mostly browns in the first stocking this year. Not a bad choice in reality as browns are more likely to hold over than brookies

Don't think the 3-5 inch brookies I've caught on the tug were planted.
Not that there isn't stocking going on but those streams are more than clean and cold enough for brookie repo.
 

     Like places that are stocked and are ok for Brookie repro. There are a few -secret- places like that here in Ct.
 Nice to catch some eaters and let the wild fish go.
 Between a wild budget ride here  and buying and  gut rehabing  another house havent been Turkey huntin or fishing yet. Didnt even bother gettin a Turkey tag.
 At some point am gonna have to get up to SR country to at least mow- and hopefully get a day or two to fish.
  Even chubs would do it for me right about now.
  Tried that 'life of leisure' stuff for a week or so when I retired- not for me -if ya dont keep the main muscle (brain) working ya may as well just curl up and dye          
    ( NOOOO not the beauty salon)-- LIFE..  lol.

Sorry, those links are not working on my computer, but if you work your way through the fishstocking pages on the DEC website, you find where the hatchery trucks went, and those are minly browns.  Go to the headwaters, brookies.  The other pages are through the State Lands interactive mapper, and lands amf forest pages, and you can find the descriptions of state lands.  Intersect with streams and headwaters, brookies.   If it flows and is not posted (or it is state land), it will have brooktrout up there.

Speaking of stocking I forgot to mention.   A few weeks ago I am driving around up north and saw a DEC stocking truck in a South S parking lot.   It was from Quebec.  Driving through town I saw 2 more.   Anyone know what they were doing around.

Fished the main stem of the Delaware from Callicoon to Damascus this past Saturday.  Fishing was very tough with low water and a high sun.  Water temperature was 68 by mid day.  The hatches that were prolific a few days before were absent.  A few caddis and a couple March Browns but not enough to bring more than a dozen fish to the surface for the entire trip, some of those may have been chubs.  Worked on and caught a small rainbow on a March Brown emerger just after putting in.  Other than a chub that was it for me.  
 
We did see large pods of shad throughout our drift and my buddy did throw dart/flutter spoon combos at them to no avail.  He did manage to take a nice two year old brown on a shad dart, go figure.  He also managed to take a couple of smallies.
 
Summertime conditions in the first week of May is not a good thing, we need rain!!! 

Surprised to hear the Shad are that far up already, just a week ago they were reporting good fishing in Easton Pa,then it dropped like a rock.Used to chase them many years ago but lost interest as the years went by.
I reall hope we get some good tropical depressions over the summer...I don't want a repeat of last years water flows.

Jack,  Reports are that shad are up in the East and West Branch of the Delaware already.  Some of the roe shad we saw had good size to them. 
 

Oneida tomorrow for waldo's, perch or whatever will bite.   Don't care as long as I get out.

Let us know how you do clint fished the tournament only on saturday and only managed one little guy. Found fish on the bottom but tight lipped, in two weeks it will be game on for sure, had 55 fish days last year.
