I think they stocked "all" the fish from the Kensington hatchery this fall so they can "clean" or do "maintinence" on the hatchery..
I believe that these comments and the thread referenced above are relevant to Broodstock Salmon. The question in this post was in regards to Broodstock Trout (Browns). According to the DEP Press Release Mitch posted today shows 2800 Broodstock Trout are being stocked this year. DEP Trout stocking press release
I was talking about the trout. I think it had to do with the Kensington hatchery being cleaned in the fall, thus all the salmon and trout had to be stocked last fall, not through the ice in the winter.
