Anybody caught one of these out of the community ponds? I think I pulled one in on a spinner not too long ago. I just about had a heart attack cause I didn't expect to pull in a 20" trout from a pond..Have they always been stocked in some ponds? I wonder if they get harvested before they get very big.

They have been planting a few of them for years. No chance of them growing any because they are caught just about as fast as they are planted and also I doubt they could survive a summer (water likely gets too warm in the community ponds).

Yes, I got one out of the Willow this year, it was huge. Apparently when the brooders at the hatcheries are spent, they stock 'em in the community ponds to give urban anglers a chance to catch a big fish. They don't stock 'em to grow though.

Was that a Laker, looks like a Walleye

[cool][#0000ff]That was a pic taken and provided by a DWR biologist who identified it. Those old brood stock macks are not very big but their teeth are.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]You should know that in matters of fishing...as well as other things..."looks like" doesn't count.[/#0000ff]

[cool][#0000ff]There are several on this board that have "advanced" educations. They keep learning more and more about less and less...until they know just about everything about nothing.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Don't know if you followed the original thread on that dead and dried out mackster but there were folks who were dead certain it was some kind of exotic species...and were still adamant about their beliefs even after DWR identified it as a lake trout. All that without them actually seeing the subject. All based upon a picture...and their abilities to interpret whatever they saw in a picture. Sound familiar?[/#0000ff]

That does sound familiar. Like the reports that we hae neer been on the moon, that it was all a stage.
