A few things...

I don't think the shad restoration/dam removal projects have any impact on trout stocking, especially at this time.

Are you sure you want to stock that area with trout? It's a big, wide, slow river that won't hold trout over. My thought is that the catch rate of stocked trout will be really low, and they will all die when water temps rise in July. Better water to stock pike or channel catfish, IMHO.

Lastly, have FG&W do a study and gather some scientific evidence to support (or reject) stocking in that area.
