Hardly, and those that are most likely to escape are the smaller fish. Furthermore, electrofishing Logan Branch on a number of occasions only revealed substantial escapement one time, and those fish were small, barely legal RT. What apparently continues to not be recognized by otherwise knowledgable anglers is that Logan Branch had ideal large brown trout habitat in great quantity under the higher flow conditions in those years, a rare condition on Pa except for short stretches of stream, such as the Rt 322 narrows in Kish Ck. Additionally, it had an ideal, large forage base, with the most dense population of large sculpins that I have ever seen. Finally, it was heavily fished as a result of the stocking program and it was by no means a C&R stream. As a positive result, there was not an oversupply of stockpiling small fish tying up the biomass that could have become larger fish biomass in those ideal large fish habitat conditions. Finally, Logan Branch was a direct contradiction to everything professed as sacred by the C&R crowd, the no stocking over wild trout crowd ( due to the damage that would be caused to the wild trout population), and the group that dislikes the harvest of large trout, ignoring the nuances of high productivity and ideal habitat.
