They planted brood stock 3-6# trout into Meadow Creek pond in Roy last week, which are fun for the kids or anyone else. They also planted a bunch of 12" Tiger Trout last week at a number of community ponds that include Bountiful Pond and Smith Family Park next to Smith and Edwards in Ogden, those are just the ones I remember but there was more check the stocking records. Get the kids out and put them on some cool fish.
Thank you for that information. I actually just went to Farmington Pond this afternoon. I counted close to 20 rods in the water at the peak. Unfortunately, I didn't see anyone catch a fish (me included). I tried a little bit of everything including but not limited to bobber with power eggs, no bobber with power eggs fishing off the bottom (tried a few different colors), rooster tails, and some swim bait. The guy I was talking about said that Tiger Trout can be more finicky. I saw smaller fish jumping like crazy. It felt like they were mocking me haha. does anyone have any advice?
