Lehigh County...Allentown to be more exact. Both streams start Northwest of town and flow into it before eventually emptying into the Lehigh river.

Good question and I one I have seen mentioned several times since I posted this on a few forums. I am not sure where you are from Tom but Pennsylvania has a fairly limited wild trout population (all things considered). Almost all of the trout normally caught in the state, especially over the first few weeks, are state stocked fish.

I do find the idea interesting though. Just as an example, if a fish is stocked one year and then not caught for 4 or 5 years then could it be considered a record? Could a stocked fish ever be considered a record?

I don't have an answer.

Have always been a bit uneasy about brood fish being recordsand would rather catch a smaller wild fish.

Sure would be fun catching a fish like that on my brookie set up though.
