Trout Unlimited to Float Stock Upper Androscoggin River for Maine Fly Fishing Season
Bethel, ME (PRWEB) April 28, 2006 -- In efforts to increase hatchery fish survival, the Mollyockett Chapter for Trout Unlimited will float stock the upper Androscoggin River this spring under the direction of the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (MDIFW) in time for the Maine fly fishing season. “The exact timing of the float stock has not been announced and is completely up to the biologists at Inland Fisheries,” says Rocky Freda, regional director of the Upper Androscoggin River Mollyockett Chapter of Trout Unlimited.
By attaching a net to a drift boat, hatchery fish are gradually released in locations along the watershed. When fish are released in the traditional truck stocking method, “they have a tendency to pod up and are easier prey for humans, birds and other predators,” explains Freda, a certified Maine Guide. Last year was the first year the Maine DIFW stocked the upper Androscoggin using drift boats.
In conjunction with Trout Unlimited, Maine plans to float stock the upper Androscoggin and Kennebec watersheds this spring. An Embden hatchery supplies brown trout and a Casco Bay hatchery supplies rainbow trout for float stocking 1700 to 1800 fish in the upper Androscoggin. A full tank truck capacity is approximately 3,000 fish. Hatchery Trucks will stock locations along the whole river and throughout the state of Maine
