Not yet Aaron, soon, but you should be able to catch plenty in there already.
Should be decent chironomid fishing there this time of the year.
Try the deep water near the east end of the lake.

I frequently do a "tune-up" trip there in April to make sure all my gear is working properly before a main trip in May.

Mill Lake was stocked today.

I am getting tired of the same five urban ponds being restocked before other lakes get anything!!

I'll bring this up next time at the meeting. Buntzen and Sasamat etc are expected to be stocked next week.

Thanks Rodney,
This springs allocations of catchable sized fish is to be 52,050 total. The five urban ponds will get 23,000 of these fish which is 44% of the total!! Out of the 35 managed lakes 12 will not receive any catchables at all. Another way to state it is; 14.1% of the lakes will receive 44% of the catchable sized fish. This is excessive to say the least, and needs to be addressed. It is understood that these 5 urban ponds provide fishing to a higher population density and should receive more allocation than some lakes farther afield, but not to the extent of being detrimental to the fishing experience they can potentially offer.

I think the problem they have with trout lake in Van, is the coliform count is very high. I would conjecture that they don't want to stock it with catchables, for fear people will eat them and get sick.
I'm not sure what the situation with Latimer lake is.

There must be a way to filter some of those small lakes, Trout lake is such a waste with a beach and all...

Need to elect a Mayor that is more into angling instead of cycling in order for that to happen  ;D
