the F & G is planting 200 4 to 10 pound yellow trout in Settlers Pond and McDevitt Pond in Meridian this afternoon. This event could redefine "combat fishing"!!!!!

I think I'll skip that circus and go buy 4 to 10 200 milligram goldfish at Zamzows instead.

a lawn chair and your favorite adult beverage would be suitable!

That is a great catch for the kids, if they would just let the kids catch them!

A cousin sent me a message this morning; She read in the newspaper that F&G planted 800 yellow trout in McTucker Ponds the other day, in pond #4 and pond #8.
I would guess they are the standard 10-12" planters, but I haven't seen the article myself.

private fish producer donates 120 yellow rainbow trout
Idaho Trout Processors, a southern Idaho fish producer, is donating 800 yellow-phase rainbow trout to the Idaho Department of Fish and Game.
About 120 of these unique trout, averaging 5 pounds each, will be stocked this Thursday, September 9, at McTucker Ponds between noon and 1 p.m. Specifically, ponds No. 4 and No. 8 will be stocked.
Popular with anglers, these uniquely colored trout, sometimes referred to as banana trout, lack a certain pigment resulting in a light yellow color. They are not albinos, however.
McTucker Ponds are near Aberdeen. To get there, from State Highway 39 that runs between American Falls and Blackfoot, turn south at mile marker 34.8 onto 1700 West (Stecklein Road) and go 2.7 miles to a "T" in the road. Turn right and travel one mile on 1075 South (River Road) to another "T," and turn left into the McTucker Ponds complex.
You can also get to Highway 39 by way of Tilden Bridge, near the Fort Hall Reservation. Once on the highway use the same directions.

Ahh, good clarification. Thanks for that. Maybe it would be worth it to take another drive down there. Last time we had 5 adults, 5 kids fishing age, and 4 toddlers. Made for a hectic day.
This time we will try with the 3 kids that want to fish and leave the wives at home. (and before I get blasted by the women, if the wives want to come then I guess they can
)
