Steve, I guess, it depends on the temperature of the water and the under-water structure of the river. If there is no underwater structure and the water is really cold the fish might go downstream. They cannot hide and due to the cold water their metabolism is quite inactive. However, Usually they will find some spots where the water is calm and where they can hide and protect themself. You should find some fish when the flood is over. Rene -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- Von: Steve Brettell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Datum: Samstag, 22.

>I went to one of our local rivers that had received stocking about a week ago. The river was over its banks, and most access was blocked by the powers that be. Either you couldn't drive near it, or the paths were blocked by police lines. I drove as far upstream as seemed necessary, and it was the same story. The river was really high, and really fast. > >My question is, does this wash all the stocked fish out to the sea? Are any of them expected to be there still, or are they in Bermuda by now? >--- >Steve, >In Maryland > > >_____________________________________________________________ >Get 25MB, POP3, Spam Filtering with LYCOS MAIL PLUS for $19.95/year. >http://login.mail.lycos.com/brandPage.shtml?pageId=plus&ref=lmtplus
