What is this on a class A?

Well, I never said that, but typically they stock rainbows now, and the wild fish would be brooks or browns. There are some streams with wild browns that still get browns stocked, but I guess it's not too big of a concern.

No, you didn't. But I know that is serious concern among fishermen in other parts of the country that stocking alongside wild populations. Many see it as weakening the native strains.

Having been gone so long from the state, I'm still trying to wrap my head around things here, because they sure aren't what I've lived with in other places the past 55 years.

So,no worries,about cross breeding between the put and take fish and the natives ?

Cross breeding is not a concern in Pa when it’s browns over browns or rainbows over browns.

And yet, despite all of our shortcomings, our trout populations are booming, and the fishing is as good or better than ever at any point since our drastic alterations of our pre-colonization environment.

doomerism is rampant these days, despite obvious examples of great progress.
