Stocking on record

What the authority records say

9 stocking records between 2020 and 2026. These are individual release records. The source record is not a promise that stocking continues, and not evidence of what is in the water now.

  • Rainbow Trout — 100 fish across 2 records (2021, 2020)
  • Brown Trout — 14 fish across 7 records (2026, 2025, 2024, 2022, 2021, 2020)

Source licence unconfirmed, so these counts are held back from public pages.
