You may be correct. In saying they stock browns, I was just going off information I had been told. I know they used to. I'm actually pretty glad to hear they've quit. Most years, we don't have enough brown trout to go around, since they are harder to raise in hatcheries than rainbows. Putting browns in the Duck was a waste.

In fact, I'd be perfectly happy if they would sluice a little water to warm up the tailrace and manage it as a trophy smallmouth fishery. Save the trout for waters where they have a shot of holding over - even some of the spring creeks like Mill, Charles, and Tumbling Creek would be better holdover fisheries than the Duck.
