Abstract:

The Apalachia Reservoir is the first reservoir in North Carolina to be managed as a trophy trout fishery. In 2012 the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission stocked 5,000 trout (brown and rainbow). The stocks have continued to thrive as they take advantage of the presence of the invasive blueback herring.
