2002 NH Float Stocking

During the early spring of 2002 our chapter helped the State of NH stock brown trout in the upper half of the Nissitissit River from near its source downstream to the MA/NH stateline. This was a first time effort for the chapter. As a result, the chapter now participates in the stocking efforts for the majority of the length of the Nissitissit. This project matches efforts that the chapter has undertaken for a number of years on the MA section working with the state of MA. (Just a few days later chapter members were stocking trout on the MA section.) Leveraging the past years' experience gained in the MA efforts, the morning on the NH section went very well.

Participants for this day were:
John Denomme (Stern of red canoe)
Tim McDaniel
Michael Rosser (Bow of red canoe)
Christopher Schott (Young chap dipping fish)
Russ Schott

Special thanks go out to Gabe Gries, NH State Fisheries Biologist, for his assistance in coordinating this effort.
