Droppers and such on the Clinch

Interesting; I wonder if that equates to the traits of stocker fish vs. the fewer naturally reproduced fish?

The stockers seem to hang by themselves many times, and often are in weirder places then the stream reared fish or that is the way it appears at times. I have seen far less stockers this year then in years past, which is confusing, but also welcome.

I don't know the answer, but wish they would settle down.
