Hey everyone, can't wait for the lake season to start. Any intel on when stockings will start happening in the LM? Historically Van Isle goes first and so far there's nothing, so I guess once we see stockings in this page https://www.gofishbc.com/Stocked-Fish/Detailed-Report.aspx?region=VANCOUVER%20ISLAND&start=1/1/2022&end=5/17/2024 we can expect them in the LM a week or two after.
-
I read that they are starting in the lower mainland this week, Rodney also said he will be at a local lake stocking on Thursday.
-
Both VI and Lower Mainland stockings begin this week. VI was going to start last week but got postponed because it was cold. Both hatcheries always try to get some of the lakes stocked right before school spring break.
-
Great news! Thanks both

We'll be livestreaming the release tomorrow morning: https://youtube.com/live/6Fop_w_bTL4

Something tells me it's gonna be Green Timbers or Rice

The shore crowd is assembling and eagerly anticipating the hatchery truck to pull up to Elbow lake tomorrow morning. :o
-
I have my wall tent set up at elbo waiting for the for the excitement. Stay off my rock. 😝😂

Apparently, Mill, Green Timbers & Como are being stocked today with about a thousand I believe.

Rod's showing off the new dock and new fountain on Mill Lake. Looks great. Great addition to Mill lake and the local city fishing community. That eagle that lives 50-100 metres west of the dock will be pretty excited with the stocking as well.....

That dock is like the Rolls Royce of floating docks, I'm going to pitch the idea of putting one at Elbow. 😆

He should be delighted. :) That's Brandon. He has been an avid angler his whole life, and started watching the videos when he was very young. Few years ago he joined the learn to fish team as an instructor, then he became a fish culturist last year after completing his schooling. A great career in the future for him.

Fished today at Lafarge from 7;30 - 10. Bottom fishing, nada, saw one caught on a lure. Otter looked like he was having fun ::)

Phone the manager and complain about the products. ;)

Today was better, even saw some fly guys catch a couple.

Took the Float tube and 5 layers of clothes to Mill Lake on Fri. Almost no fish rising and got a bite stripping a leech that got me excited. 2 hours in and nothing, then a guy killing it (from shore!) using subsurface told me to get it together and do the same, and landed 2 almost right away after I switched.I guess I was fishing too deep - thank you for saving my butt friend! Walked out of the lake not feeling any of my feet but with a big smile
Always a good feeling the first trout of the year, and it's only going to get better. If you look closely you should see the fly still in its mouth:

Another release yesterday. Most local Lakes received 2000 fish so far this year. Lafarge got 3000. Rice only has 1000. Hastings received nothing yet.
-
Rice only got stocked this time around as it had ice still 2 weeks ago. Went there this morning first light before work and and even it was so early 4 anglers in the pier. Pretty good day, with 10 bites and 7 trout landed in about 1.5hour, both stripping flies and under an indicator. Lots of fish jumping which was good to see. Great way to start the day!

This was this week's stocking plan. It's pretty much on target, I just watched the truck coming back to the hatchery after doing the two lakes.
