Has Pennsylvania always stocked the Ohio strain (exclusively), or have there been other strains introduced over the years??

I have heard reports of tagged "Chautauqua strain" fish showing up in the Allegheny River via Chadakoin/Conewango Creek as well.

For some years NY State DEC has stocked exccess Musky Fry from Prendergast Hatchery in the Upper Allegheny River.Could they be washed through the dam?

I agree, Larry. If they are making it to the Middle Allegheny, it is either from Chautauqua Lake or through the Kinzua gates. The tagged fish I mentioned earlier, were supposedly captured 60 miles South of Warren. That is a whole lot of water to cover but I am not surprised either.
