 Caney Fork River Trout Investigations
The Watauga River was stocked in 1998 with catchable-sized rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss (42,150), fingerling rainbow trout (50,000) and catchable-sized brown trout Salmo trutta (17,568).
Brown trout represented 60% of the density and 65% of the biomass of trout.
The Watauga River is comparable to the more-famous South Fork of the Holston River in terms of quality habitat and appropriate minimum flows, water temperatures, and dissolved oxygen concentrations to support healthy trout populations.
