True. I have a good friend who is a manager at the TWRA fish hatchery. He told me about it several months ago.rsimms":3pl911xh said:rukiddin":3pl911xh said:Been stocking them for a few years now.

Crosshairy":2biha6jq said:I think the reason that the Hatchie and Forked Deer rivers were on the list is because of their meandering flow paths and tendency to flood (i.e. traditional alligator gar habitat). There's also significantly less boat traffic on those rivers, in case collision-caused mortality was a concern.
I have personally seen a mature alligator gar in the tailwater below Pickwick Lake probably 18-20 years ago. Certainly not a common fish to see on my trips.

Just a thought.
