Well, I dont know the numbers,and Im sure some of you will disagree,
but Im glad Oster made the cut. I only fish it a couple times a year
but its a nice break from the norm for me. Long live the puddle!!

From the looks of things after today, Matt will be surprised if he makes it even this far. (See arrow) We had to steal fish from the 4th pond to fill the quota for Otsego Lk.

On another note, I was lucky enough to have been working right across the street from the hatchery today. I was able to take my coffee break, lunch break, and a little extra time to gather up the muskies. What an experience!! The size difference in fish is amazing. The sizes range anywhere from 8" up to 15-16". Some of them were huge! Well, huge seeing as how they were just born a few months ago. Great time tho. Nice to meet Hamilton, and good to see Brad and Ken again.

Some of the others could be stocked. What he didn't know at the time is that I was trying to do some damage control this morning and there may be more fish to spread around. Hopefully I caught this in time…

I don't know the exact number, but if I heard right, the whole truck we loaded today was heading up to Otsego Lake. I passed him on my way back into town today. All I remember was my bin needed 1440 fish in it. 😯 I didn't know I had the patience to count that high!!

The Cooke Dam and earlier 2006 Loud Dam stockings should provide some fun structure fishing in a few years.
