This is a very late report. I fished Flowing with two lines for 2 1/2 hours on March 15 with out a bite. Nor did I see any of the alledged 2000 fish supposedly planted a few days prior and nothing on the fish finder or surface action to indicate fish had been planted. In my mind I was certain the 2000 fish had NOT been planted as advertised. I spoke to one shoreline resident who indicated that virtually no one had been fishing, nor had he seen any surface activity. I saw one other boat that day. So I called t the state offices with my story and was politely thanked but obviously not taken seriously.

However, I now see others feel the same way accordimg to the reports. So today I called again and pointed out a few things additionally including referring the gent to these reports. He got the message this time and said he would check into it. And I believe he means what he says.

While the fish folks do a great job I remained firmly convinced (70 years trout fishing experience) that the first 2000 fish from the Whitehorse hatchery for whatever reason did not make into Flowing as advertised.
