Coffee Run should 100% not be stocked. Oh well. What are you going to do? But of course any fish stocked there could wander. There is nothing stopping them.


Upper Honey is now way more wild browns than brookies, which helps to reinforce your point, but yeah....
I agree Coffee Run should not be stocked.
 
Why would you say it doesent need to be stocked? Which by the way it is a private owned hatchery, so not necessarily stocked, but i know theres big trout up above the bridge as well, so it definitely can provide for a wild trout population, but I've found that below coffee run is where I normally catch the bigger fish anyway, "stocked or not" kish has definitely fallen behind big time from what it used to be though, my dad and grandfather used to catch 30 inch browns out of it if you can believe that, I still struggle to, my best was prolly around 20in, but it most likely came out of coffee run, if there weren't so many dutches fishing it it could be a much more promising stream to produce large trout again.

If you want Kish and it’s tribs to continue to be a promising stream don’t publicly name the exact locations on it where you are finding large fish…

No offense meant, but I genuinely think your judgements are way off the mark here and very, very inaccurate in more ways than one.

And the reason none of those streams should be stocked is because they are legit trout streams. Stocking over a good population of wild fish is a sin, and that's what's happening.
