For those out of the viewing area...

I've got news for the Phd candidate, there are brook trout in the Loyalsock at least seasonally. They are also in Pine Creek seasonally. They are also in the other big freestone streams seasonally. I am glad someone is finally studying wild trout movement, it's about time.

Thanks for sharing.

I haven't been able to watch it, probably because of an old browser on an old computer.

Was there anything new about brookies in the program?

 

[tztrout]

Basically an overview of her ongoing study. They promised a follow up as she collects her data.

 

[troutbert]

What is the question the research is intended to answer?

 

[tztrout]

Movement of wild brook trout within or out of their home stream especially when non-native browns are present. Here is a link to her study for more info:

Did you see the size of the tracker they put in the fish? I am surprised there are no bad side effects.
