Stocking & Trout Fishing
What is a put-and-take fishery?
Put-and-take describes a stocking program where hatchery trout are released and expected to be caught and harvested by anglers within weeks. The fish aren't expected to reproduce or survive long-term in the water. Most state weekly stockings of urban lakes and streams operate as put-and-take — fish in, fish out, repeat next week.
