That was the case for some others with whom I spoke. Were a lot of spots just overlooked? I'm a good fisherman who adapts to the conditions but, no matter what, I couldn't raise a single trout. I'm sure trout were stocked today, and the amount of fish that went in was not that many fewer than the last stocking in the spring. So, why the disparity in stocking points?

Eventually, I'll find them but not until someone puts some water back in the streams and the trout settle in. BTW.......the sycamore hatch has started and I did notice a maple spinner fall late in the day before the showers.

"NOTE: Due to general low flow conditions some individual stocking points may not be stocked this fall. Stocking truck drivers will determine if each location has enough water to allow for stocking on the day of the run. If conditions do not allow for a point to be stocked, the fish allocated for that stocking point will be spread out among the other stocking points on that same river or stream as conditions allow. Please check the Updates for the latest information."

I understand the trucks might not know conditions til they get there but it would be helpful to know where they were able to stock.
