DGIF Assistant Fisheries Director Ron Southwick was at Richmond’s Shields Lake yesterday to help stock 600 brown and rainbow trout. The department also stocked Henrico’s Dorey Park Lake with the same number of fish. The two lakes are part of the department’s urban stocking program, but this was a special visit. The DGIF received the 1,200 trout from Virginia State University’s aquaculture program. The school had been studying the cage-raised fish and needed to get rid of them.
Bonus, Richmond anglers!
My friend Geoff Murphy and I took advantage on Friday morning just after the stocking. We were the only ones there. Here he is holding a brown trout.
