[QUOTE="77Talladega, post: 410096, member: 8296"] Heck yeah, wouldn’t mind if Army Corps/Game & Fish lengthened the hatchery creek to where it goes back into the Missouri after some distance or routed water through a 4 feet diameter concrete culvert/pipe (couple hundred feet long) from a little down the tailrace up the banks (natural water flow/pressure should enable this/ could easily close it when necessary with culvert only being 4 feet in diameter) for a 1-3 mile stream, then back into the Missouri. I was told by Game & Fish guy that the water is too cold for the trout to reproduce in the tailrace; he said temp was 41 degrees last August- if plan was approved; might have to have some sort of retention pond/ series of pools for the water to heat up a little before the stream. He also told me he saw some trout trying to spawn by Stanton boat launch on the rocks by shore and that all trout they stock have ability to reproduce. Anyhow, you’d think at some point during all the years they stocked em in the tailrace; some would have successfully reproduced in the rocky shallows along the bank. I researched Ft. Peck tailwater/trout and apparently the browns/rainbows are able to reproduce there. Hey, I’m all for ideas to pitch haha. [/QUOTE]
