Bay State anglers with cabin fever and their 2011 freshwater fishing license can look forward to over 529,800 feisty brook, brown, rainbow and tiger trout being stocked this spring. These are sizeable fish; 71% of the fish average 12 inches or longer. “We have some high quality fish this spring,” observes Chief Fish Culturist Dr. Ken Simmons. “We had to deal with severe drought conditions last summer and early fall resulting in reduced water flows at two hatcheries. The prolonged, severe snow and ice conditions from this winter were also a challenge at all our facilities, but the hatchery crews did an excellent job with the fish.”
