Stocking Rainbow Trout

Type: Nontidal
Region: Western
Location: North Branch - Potomac

We assisted the West Virginia DNR with stocking 509 trophy sized rainbow (415) and golden trout (94) into the North Branch Potomac River downstream of Jennings Randolph Lake today: About 255 rainbows were stocked in the Barnum to Bluehole Put and Take Area; 100 rainbows were stocked in the Lower C&R section (downstream of Bluehole) and 60 rainbows were stocked in the upper C&R � and the goldens were divided up between these areas as well. These trout averaged about 3 lbs each, and should spark a lot of angler interest.
