Dr.Tman : I am good

The DEP stocking trout in places they do not have a chance at surviving in is another problem.Why waste the resource knowing the fish are going to die ?
The DEP could save alot of money but not stocking every little puddle with trout.

A big chunk of the DEP's budget is alloted to the trout program.Maybe if the DEP got rid of opening day they could stock less trout in less places and put the extra money into other programs OR raise bigger quality trout to stock into the places that provide suitable habitat for a trout to survive year round.Does the state stock other species(pike,walleye) in places they will not survive ? Answer is a definate NO ,so why do it with trout

I am starting to get the feeling that the trout program and opening day are nothing more than a way to dump $$ into local economy's ! Trout seem to be the sacrificial fish of CT.
