I liked the massive input of fish .
Fish forced each other to spread out for much greater distances as did the early CR period .
The catch and release period should have been no bait and barbless hooks to promote as healthy a release as possible .

I saw way less guys fishing than when they do the put and take stockings. Many days having the river to myself .
.
Fish were around all summer .

Normal stockings in years past there are bigger crowds at the drop points and it’s no where near as peaceful .
