I'll be on the lower Bushkill in Monroe county.
Looks like the last stocking will be Rainbows and Browns, two weeks (May 10th) before we arrive on the 26th.
Keep the tips/tricks coming.flyguy likes this.Ragnar Benson:

Will there be Eels in the creeks then?
I love broiled Eel with some unagi tare sauce.
Can y'all recommend a brand of good hip or chest waders?flyguy likes this.Ragnar Benson:

Chile, If the stream is not accessible to the fish stocking truck, it will not be stocked. They only stock trout close to a road. Rainbows will migrate a ways, browns will not go very far. The DNR will not stock rainbows if they are browns present because the "bows" are to aggressive, and leave nothing for the browns. "Bows" are complete idiots and very easy to catch on just about anything. In SE MN., where my home stream is, they only stock "bows" before the catch & kill season starts and only a pail full in a very few places. They know that they will be caught the opening weekend, and will not harm the brookies or the browns. The "bows" up here do not reproduce, the brookies and the browns are all naturally reproduced. None of them are stocked and we have plenty.
As far as the hip boots & waders go. Buy a cheap pair of waders, they all leak in about 2 years, the $400.00 ones and the $100.00 ones. Some of them leak the first time that I put them on, even the good ones. But I use them 4 - 5 times a week even when I'm down at the Gulf slurping ghost shrimp, so maybe they will last longer under normal use. Hip boots will not do the job, up here anyway.chillinfish and jollymon like this.

A GREAT trout stream, if you haven't tried it, but it on your bucket list.

Never fished the Bushkill but it has a good rep.
Just get a basic pair of denier over rubber waders. No need to spend a lot of money.Carl

Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
