Yes, that is the beauty of this stream, all fish here are wild. How long shall it stay that way i do not know. This year they have stocked it with 50kg of stocked rainbows. I am pretty ****** with that, although there is no sign of them. I assume they have stocked them further upstream, where it is easier to fish. fortunately they have not showed in parts that i like. Fish here actually get much bigger, it is not unusual to come a big chub, i have cought several brownies over 50cm in it, i know for at least one catch over 60, graylings get pretty big too, stevel cought 48cm one last year. Although it is small, it has a lot of undercut banks and some nice pools, rather deep with undercut sides often combined with bushes etc., and also a canyon with pools, huge boulders and passages below them etc. It used to be much better but in the 80s they have regulated the upper part and destroyed meanders undercut banks and pools in that area. It is tough fishing and many people think there are no fish here, but with right approach...you can get really nice surprises. Of course big fish do not get cought every day, sometimes you don`t catch anything, sometimes a couple of small fish and if you are lucky and in the right place at the right time, when big fish comes out of its hole, you have a chance for something big.

Mixed pics from here:
actually there are some strange guest here like this carp. This stream has a little stream flowing into it, coming from some lakes in which there are carps etc. and juvenile fish (there is a screen at the outflow so only small fish can get through) escape from lakes. So it is not unusual to come across a carp, pike and even a catfish was found here
Some chubs from here:
This might be an interesting picture, chubs often escort the one, that is hooked, like on this pic
