Deer Lake is stocked a couple of times per year. It receives less fish than other lakes because the water quality simply isn't ideal. That being said, there are potentials and FFSBC has designated it as one of the "Fishing in the City" lakes this year. Look for future projects to make this a better urban fishery.

I'll ask about Fawn Lake.

Thats great deer lake is not to far from my house.

Rodney, do you have any idea when they plan to stock Rolley, and when the gate will be opened?

Thanks,
Todd

I called the hatchery this morning and they said the urban lakes wont be done until the end of next week or even the following week still  She said they are short staffed, i am thinking they must have only 1 person besides the secretary to be a full month  behind almost

who do you talk to at 12:32:40 am?

[Spiznack]

I called them 2 weeks ago and they said the lakes were gonna be stocked by that weekend.  That hotline is no good.  The guy on the phone told me I was better off checking the gofishbc site.

I called the Fraser Valley trout hatchery itself and they told me the info. they keep having to push the stocking back due to not having enough staff on hand.

and i didnt call at 12:32 am. i had called the morning before obviously  i was still up since the other morning which means it was still same day to me.

As Hook mentioned, the hatchery is a behind this year due to staff shortage (just bad timing right now). The previous manager just retired and a new one just took over, so once things get going it should be much more smoothly.

In the meantime, the lack of stockings shouldn't stop people from going fishing. We were looking around Como Lake yesterday to soak up the ray and a school of rainbow trout went from the middle of the lake to the dock where we were at before moving out again. There are fish, just not as many (IMO, lakes are more fun when they are not choked with stocked fish anyway) so you will have some success.

On a related note, Vancouver Island trout stockings have been taking place steadily. For those who are on the island, you can see the updates here: http://www.fishingwithrod.com/fishing_report/stocking_1.html

Rodney - when they start stocking it will it be done every 2 weeks like planned ?? until the water temps get to warm obviously


one good thing about the stocking being late is that when they start stocking them the trout will all be just that much bigger

Here is the tentative stocking plan for this week.

Tuesday - Como and Lafarge Lake.
Wednesday - Green Timbers, Rice and Sasamat Lake.

Average size of these fish will be 300g.

Confirmation of these stockings will be available here and at http://www.fishingwithrod.com/fishing_report/stocking_2.html once complete.

No school tomorrow, perfect.

I'm Surprised that nobody asked the exact time of the stocking.

Hey Rod, since you said the stocking is uncertain did they stock the lakes today?

Thanks

[mattyo]

Pretty sure Rod will post when he finds out

Como lake stocked today ~ 1000 fish.

They weren't on the bite, as is the case usually for freshly stocked fish.

I got one on a 1/8 croc spoon from the dock.

I went to Como lake today, around 7:30PM and  didn't see any people fishing there.
Usually this means no fish in the lake
