I always thought the rainbows were wild fish thanks for the info.

'the population we have been catching for 20+ years has been due to the Rainbow Trout, spring spawn run,  out of the Ashokan Reservoir '

  thank you for clarifying KillerCrow, that is what I meant by native. The fact that they are running and reproduce in Esopus

Rainbow trout have never been stocked in the esopus creek it is a wild strain of trout that will never be the same dividing weir and the upper creek will never see runs of them like they were thirty / fourth years ago

[swamplover11]

so evidently they will be stocking the Ashokan Reservoir but not the creek???
