1 million trout stocked??

[Red Childress]

I heard from a reliable source last Thursday that by the time the PFBC is finished with their late trout stocking, there will be close to 1 million trout (of various sizes) stocked below the Kinzua Dam.

I am not sure if I believe it or not but based on how difficult the walleye and adult trout bite has been in that area the past several weeks, it makes perfect sense to me. Just too much food right now.......there will be some very heavy fish caught in that area this Fall/Winter. Once again I will say that the walleye and pike records could be in serious trouble. I could see another sub-50 inch pike breaking the current weight record of 35 pounds based on how fat some of these walleye are already. The water is literally boiling with juvenile trout.

Just remember that the stretch of river below Kinzua and 8.75 miles downriver to Warren is C and R until April.
