Kent and Patterson creeks are very similar trout streams. Both are headwater tributaries to the Lynn River and both contain wild brook trout populations. Both creeks are historically known for their brook trout fishing however they also have a long history of stocking. These stocking reports suggest put-and-take stocking of legal-sized trout occurred annually in both creeks during the 1950s.
