Bluestone Trout Fishing Year 2

Well, it looks like they are stocking the Bluestone River with trout again this year. As a bonus to attract tourists they have stocked trophy size fish. In addition, the Park has also officially declared the stream catch and release so hopefully it will discourage the meat hogs who ruin it for everyone. Austin and I hiked in early in the morning and fished for about three or four hours. The water level was pretty low as we haven't had much rain in the last couple of months. This can prove advantageous as the trout were confined to mainly two or three holes, which made locating them easier. I have never caught trout this big on a consistent basis. I really hope that the Park continues to stock the Bluestone River for years to come as it makes for a great trout stream that is near by, and extends the fishing season a little longer.
