I shoot Inland a message on their facebook Time Line yesterday just to remind them one of the reasons and to please stock our lake with hybrids this year.

My message'
Inand fisheries the time is near. Please stock our Lake Somerville with hybrids stripers this year. The gizzards shads are getting to be monstrous in sizes and we have no means of controlling it except for the hybrids that love to eat them. So please please stock our lake.

Respond I got from Niki Ragan with Inland fisheries https://www.facebook.com/nikiragan. And all this time I thought she was a dude.

Hey Bruce! We're working on it! We'll make sure to let everyone know if/when we get hybrids for Somerville. As long as I'm not in a meeting or sampling somewhere, I'll make sure to post a picture or video of it for you guys on here! https://www.facebook.com/TPWInlandFisheriesCollegeStationHouston/

When was the last time you guys visited your Inland Fisheries and let them know how much you appreciated their hard work in making it happen for your lake? These are the guys and girls that are out there every day in the field getting it done.

And for people who love to see Lake Somerville continued to get stocked with hybrids,please continue to touch base with Inland Fisheries. The time is near.Make your voice heard. Just a click away. We need our stock this year. They should be collecting their broad fish for hatchery by now or soon. Thanks!!
