From what I have read, the Owhi strain is stocked in the Caney. Not sure about other strains in other places. The feds inthe park are not stocking non-native strains.....

I know jack about brookie strains but the ones on the CF are very healthy and colorfull. I would not think they would be stocking the Owhi but I could sure be wrong.

I do not think any of the Southern Strain are being stocked or raised, but could be wrong. Best I can tell from the Clinch, whatever strain is skinny and has washed out colors. 
The same for the watauga river, alot of them look more like lake trout than Brookies. I'm in no way complaining though, they are fun to catch.

Hook,
I will have you know I caught the current state record brook of 14" today! LOL Actually a beautiful fish. Now just be patient, this fall those little buggers will knock your eyeball out they will be so beautiful.
PS..they are pretty stupid too

I am hoping this is true. I can't wait to see. I don't care if they're big or not. In my opinion, a brook trout in full colors is one of the prettiest fish that swims, and I'll gave a great time catching them.

I hope they come around as they get older. because many of them are hideous right now, and cigar thin.

They don't look unusually thin for their size to me. Colors are improving, though most aren't as pretty as a wild fish of the same size. Of course, the same thing could be said for a rainbow that's 4 months out of the hatchery truck. If they hold over and spend some time eating natural food, they ought to be gorgeous.
As far as I'm concerned, the brookies are doing a lot better than I expected. I thought there were decent odds that they'd be wiped out by meat fishermen and predators in a couple months, and the ones that survived would restrict themselves to the first couple miles below the dam.
However, as it is, they're still extremely abundant so far, and I'm catching them down as far as Kirby Road (though I don't know if that will last since temps seem to be creeping up into the 60s now on the middle to lower river).
