Home Forums Fishing Flyfishing Wild trout, tame countryside, good friends

Question for the trout boys:

My Ike Walton chapter stocks our lake about twice a year with rainbows, which supposedly can’t survive through the summer. If they stocked browns, wouldn't they do do better? Are browns even generally raised commercially for private stocking?

I seem to recall reading about the folks in Yurrup pulling big honking browns out of farm ponds, where they’d been larding up for years.
