Who doesn’t love the rainbow trout?
Whether sauced in butter, sketched in pastel or stripping line from a flyrod in a Montana stream, the game little fish with the freckled skin and the rosy side-stripes has always been a poster child for Unspoiled America.

Stocking Trends: A Quantitative Review of Governmental Fish Stocking in the United States, 1931 to 2004
AbSTRACT: This article provides a quantitative review of the type, number, and estimated weight of the fish stocked by the 50 state agencies and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in the United States in 2004. I examined trends in the light of data from earlier reports dating back to 1931. Among other things, this analysis shows that 1.7 billion fish were stocked by these agencies in 2004, representing 104 types of fish weighing an estimated 19.8 million kg. This was the largest number of types of fish (species, subspecies, and hybrids) and the largest total weight of fish ever stocked for those years for which information was available. (Read on…)
