Fishing Summary

North Cedar upstream of Ivory Road is stocked twice a month April through October with catchable 10-12 inch brook and rainbow trout and is unannounced. The far upstream segment receives an annual stocking of French Creek strain fingerling brown trout. A Wisconsin strain of brook trout was also introduced in 2006 and again in 2009 and 2010. Sampling data for 2011 showed 168 brown trout per mile with fish up to 14 inches and 120 brook trout per mile with fish up to 12 inches. Only limited natural reproduction of both species has been documented. This is not an estimated population and actual trout numbers will be higher. North Cedar is a small stream with heavy tree cover. Primitive camping is available.(2012)
