Float Stocking Trout in Pennsylvania 2024!

My first float stocking of trout in 2024! Our group organizes a float stock several times in the year for the Tulpehocken. Great people to work with and a premiere fishery! Got great video and an awesome assist on audio by my grandson Joshua Evenden!

You guys do a great job, one of the best keystone select streams in the whole east part of Pennsylvania, 👏👏👏👏

Great video. Definitely wish float stockings like that were able to be done more.

Amazing video. Literally dropping trophies 🏆

[@yinzerfishing]

Thank you sir!

I remember when the tulley was just stocked with fingerlings. That was one of the best streams in PA.

Been meaning to fish the Tully, Ill have to try it out this season. Cool vid!

[@The27kart]

Great job Guys! I have an inflatable drift boat, I'd be willing to bring down and use for future float stockings, just let me know.

[@davidsmith9867]

You need more holes in those floats, great job guys!

[@yinzerfishing]

You might be right, I'm thinking about modifying some of these for improved water flow.

[@davidsmith9867]

@yinzerfishing you might want to put the floats up higher so it sits lower in the water, and don't make your opening so big, I used the cutout as a lid on mine in case you go thru faster water, I wish I had a Pic of mine but you get the idea

Awesome video

[@yinzerfishing]

Thanks!

[@rodbelding9523]

Hope you fed them plenty of pellets so they're big and fat for the stringers

I can remember NJ use too float stock, now these guys on the truck today off the bridges only , they don't walk them up stream or down. I fished in NJ since I was a kid, no I go to NC, they even the people stock...

[@yinzerfishing]

Its all volunteers here that do it, its a great group of folks.

[@parboygames9866]

how do you do this??

[@yinzerfishing]

It's pretty straightforward! Join a local TU club and help out. Great people to hang out with.

[@da8920]

Every pond / lake / river should be being stock with 800 trout. Not seeing 800 in that Float?!

[@yinzerfishing]

We had several teams out that day.

I live in southwest PA most streams don't have the depth or run cold enough in the middle of summer that trout survive. Occasionally you catch a "native" think the fish commission would be better off improving the lakes for pike walleye and muskie. Native fish to this area then wasting time and money on these bathtub fish.

[@christopherworks400]

The trout make them the money for opening month with all the people that travel to PA.

[@yinzerfishing]

Agreed I am from Pittsburgh my experience was that the creeks don't really sustain cold water fish like trout in Western PA like the central PA streams do.

We used to float stock the Cohocton river here in NY State but then they went to bucket stocking and driving a 4wd truck as far as they could on some spots then walk and bucket. But after COVID the DEC does it themselves without volunteers and they just bucket the easy access spots at the bridges. 🙄

[@yinzerfishing]

That’s a bummer.
