I'm pretty sure you need a permit to stock fish. said permit would have to be issued by the DEC. it is class A trout water after all.

Yea and I'm sure they came from a DEC hatchery

That sucks! Especially when you consider that the DEC hatcheries have had a shortage of rainbow trout ever since they found whirling disease in the Randolph hatchery. They don’t have enough to put them were there needed, yet they will divert some of them for some crummy stream raping derby, and to a place where most of us do not want them.

I imagine they will be all caught out within a few weeks. Doesn't seem like they will have much of an impact on the wild population. At least nowhere near as much of an impact as the 15k browns they dump in there probably have.

"That's on the Genny in Wellsville" "Village of Arcade stocked a few hundred tagged rainbow"
I stand corrected...
Huh, I guess Arcade sucks too.
They must have seen the economic boom that Wellsville has with thousands of drunkin' idiots in a giant shit show weekend.

for what its worth at this point, I followed up again with the DEC:
1. the trout were purchased privately by the Village of Arcade, and
2. the DEC issued a special permit for the stocking to occur

If they didn't dump the 15k in I feel there wouldn't be many fish with the people walking out with stringers full. Out of the 5 I caught that day and the 2 my son caught 4 were wild and they were big and maturing. I think the Upper is doing pretty well. |

still baffling that the DEC would approve a permit for anyone to dump hatchery fish in a wild trout stream for a derby. last year there were quite a few pics of large browns on stringers or fists shoved in their gills. SMFH

I think that DEC thing (Department of Environmental Conservation) is very misleading to most people. The name makes you think they are actually concerned with Environmental Conservation. Nothing could be further from the truth. |

I caught this one back in 2015 just a short walk up from Savage Rd. Should of gave it the boot to the woods. It was snub-nosed and deformed in every possible way.  |
