Title: when after the stocking
Post by: fish_oholic on April 29, 2006, 02:30:13 PM

I have a very basic question: how many days should I wait before I head to a lake after it is stocked with rainbow trout. I am asking because I got skunked couple of times when I went for them within 2~3 days of stocking. So, as a newbie to trout fishing ....I would like to know the safe margin  ::)

last year i was in buntzen when they were stalking it. I landed over 50 trout casting leaches with a sink tip.

it all depends, it takes them a while for them to clue in they have to fend for them selves, and they wont get fed by pellets every day, i'd say 2 weeks.
