They are a pretty common accurance in the upper south branch for the last ten yrs er so...Never heard of anyone stocking them tho, would like more info on that if its possible....
I have seen them from the start at budd lake, all the way down to solitude dam...A few yrs ago when the boys took over shannons fly shop, they removed somewhere around thirty of them, from all up and down the river from that pond....
If you catch one, by ALL means TAKE IT OUT....They do not belong in a small coldwater fisherie....If you don't want to kill them at the very least relocate them back to budd lake , where they thrive in gr8 numbers
Were you able to revive the brownie??? haha j/k
