Doug,
That would be me
over 2 years ago, the state confirmed with the nursery that anglers were allowed to fish their part of the stream during trout season.
again, I don't know if the state actually stocked that part of the stream this year and if there are no stocking signs anywhere it's possible they dropped that partcular spot. Although I thought if they stocked a stream the signs would go up regardless.
edit: an update on the Hock. As anyone who might fish there knows, they do now stock at the falls, and the overall allotment was increased
a bit from 5 years ago.
