F1 Bass Breakthrough: Inside NC’s Bold Stocking Experiment

Trey and Ben sit down with North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission biologists Kelsey Roberts and Seth Mycko to explain the F1 bass stocking project in Lake Norman, Jordan Lake and Lake Gaston. They discuss why the lakes were chosen, how sampling and genetics identify F1 fish, early growth results, and the public concerns around electrofishing and fish mortality. The episode also covers shoreline habitat efforts including a new aquatic plant greenhouse, tips for anglers, and how listeners can find more information or contact NCWRC to support conservation and local fisheries management.
