What started as a question of why fish were being stocked in one of my favorite streams that has a multitude of wild fish developed into an hour long documentary film. I'm super proud of how this film came out and was ecstatic to be able to show it in person to much of the Vermont angling community with the help of Vermont Trout Unlimited, The Fly Rod Shop and others. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as it did creating it- Jake

Outstanding film! You highlighted all of the challenges and opportunities that outdoorspeople recognize in the streams, in the woods and on the ground. It's all about striving for balance. We need as many people as possible to see this film! Thank you for your efforts.

I think we know enough now that we’re starting to ease up on the brook trout a bit…and while developed areas are kind of hopeless (civilization and brook trout just don’t mix…we also have to be careful about where we’re introducing browns), there are places where the brook trout populations are seriously, predictably intact. For instance, I fish a lot in the white mountains and there are areas where, if the conditions are met, you WILL find brook trout…thousands of them. Last year, my brother and I stumbled upon a stream that was less than a half rod length across…miniscule…and inches deep in many areas. But the thing was somehow teeming with brook trout. Any little hole at could possibly contain them did. It was really cool. On top of that, this is within walking distance of three solid brook trout streams, in an area that contains DOZENS within close driving distance of eachother. Experiences like that in recent years have given me hope for the future of brook trout as long as we stay vigilant.

You would be surprised, although most of their historical habitat is gone there are disjointed populations existing well within city limits of Boston, Worcester, Manchester and Springfield. If the water is cold with decent dissolved O2 then there’s probably a small if not significant population of Fontinalis existing. 😊

Well done. I appreciate your love of fishing and your concern for the habitat challenges we face here in VT.

Fantastic video. I'd love to have the opportunity to fish Vermont and Maine for trout. The brook trout limits here in Northeastern Ontario have been at 5 fish as far back as I can remember. All streams and rivers are naturally reproducing fish and all stocking efforts happens in small lakes. With the exception of Lake Superior, its tributaries and Lake Nipigon proper, anglers are only allowed 1 fish over 22" . When these limits were implemented it raised an uproar with anglers, but since then, the amount of fish catches over 18" are very common. An 8 hour fishing trip well worth the drive. Over harvesting sections of a stream is definitely a reality. I've witnessed it myself where a certain area along a river or stream become completely void of fish. Eventually it may bounce back but only over time, it being a wild population.

Sounds like the government and organizations up there are doing a great job. Fly fishing for brook trout up in Canada is on our bucket list for sure, we’d love to get up there sometime

Having fished broken trout in our small Alpine streams. I can tell you that the biggest factor in eliminating brook trout from streams the were once abundant is the change to no minimum length. People kept every fish they caught and eliminate the next generation of trout.

Didn’t get the chance to see the premier due to work but worth the wait. This is absolutely incredible. I live central vt and fish the white and otter watersheds mostly so it was interesting to see your focus on some other areas of Vermont. I’m sure you are proud of this and you should be!

Whenever I fish with friends in heavily stocked rivers and streams and are very successful, I remind them that they are in Disney world, it’s not real. But it is still fun. And a great place to learn the sport and practice catch and release.

Nice video man. I’ve been going to school in upstate ny near the west branch of the Delaware. Been going there probably like 6 times a semester for 3 years and have caught one huge brown on the main river and on some small tributaries I’ve caught maybe 4 small wild fish. Wild trout fishing is hard as shit but I keep coming back.

Nice job, I do like fishing VT, just one comment a tree stump is not lost habitat unless it’s all the trees in the riparian zone. A perched culvert or altered stream bed is. VT and NH definitely need better regs to protect native Brook trout

Thank you, certainly a single tree will not destroy the stream, just was using that to depict the large scale logging and clear cutting that can occur

Instead of stocking game fish, the primary focus needs to be on stocking a forage base e.g. baitfish and aquatic insects then natural as well as hold over populations will bounce back. Also, work could be done on scooping out areas to create some strategically placed winter holdover pools that are silted in. As far as climate change goes, that's the one thing you can count on , the climate is constantly changing! Every day is different! lol

100% agree that starting at a lower level of the ecosystem in terms of helping habitat and prey species is crucial to supporting our wild fish down the line

They were mich bigger and more colorful when the native parr we have now could swim downstream to rivers and lakes snd grow to true adult size. What we call natives now are actually just the babies, the equivalent to salmon parr in creeks before they go to the ocean. Stocking brook trout is almost worse than introduced species, because the interbreeding between local native brook and stocked brook trout permanently destroyed the original genetic race of that watershed.

O u eating fish that's chemical induced. Same as fish farms in the see. It will harm humans when eaten
