give those freshly pumped fish a day or two and they'll start taking bait or anything you throw at them

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

It also means the sun is setting.

I was at Lake Lafarge for a couple of hours this afternoon.    

I only caught 1 (but had several bites).  Others caught their limits very quickly.  

The fish size was typical for Lafarge - about 11.5 - 12 inches.     I was bottom fishing with PB.   Others were casting lures.   Both methods working.    

I don't know the size at Como Lake since I don't fish there.  I don't like the water quality there.   Too much geese crap, and dirty looking water.

Smaller than what I catch, bigger than what you catch.

300g is around 14 to 16 inches.

I too was at Rice, fished well away from the dock and the 3 of us got our limits quick and more. I saw the truck come and dump fish in. But the fishing was way better before the lake was stocked. All fish were caught on a fly.

I was at green timbers for about 2.5 hours this afternoon, my friend caught 2 and lost one...I managed to hook one. They're about 12 maybe 13" and we were casting spoons....my first trout I've ever caught there!

1 at Como yesterday, 2 at Lafarge today.. too bad I didn't fish for more than a half an hour at each lake!

I noticed that every fish I caught had severely damaged pectoral fins, likely worn from the hatchery. Previously I had only ever seen this on brood stock fish. However I think we're seeing it on the main stocked fish partly due to the density of fish in the hatchery and the length at which they stayed in the hatchery (longer this year than usual I think).

How long does the fish frenzy last after a lake has been stocked.

[HOOK]

trout frenzy usually lasts until the weather gets to cold to go anymore

How long does the fish frenzy last after a lake has been stocked.

it depends on the lake...but honestly as soon as the lakes are being stocked there will always be people out there. less on weekdays and bad weather days.
Lafarge is a bad one, lots of people there all the time trying for a free meal.
But, there are always opportunaites at these lakes

I was at Lafarge yesterday afternoon with my 5 year old daughter.  She caught her first fish!     We did catch our limit.  Some of the fish was larger (13.5") and chubby.     

It got quite crowded after about 4:00pm.  I expect that it'll get crazy this weekend.   I don't think Lafarge's stocking lasts much longer than a couple of weeks.  After that, it'll get progressively harder to catch.
