Thanks for the replies everyone.  Lafarge is my first choice and then Mill.  And that sounds like the best choices. I'm not really a lake person so wanted to get some feedback.

We have 2 cub groups one smaller and one a bit larger.  In total there is usually 6-8 scouters when we meet and put them into cohorts of 6-7 kids.  Makes it easy.  Our home area is Cloverdale but I know that Green Timbers is tighter for space and parking. 

How fast do they get fished out?  Approx?

Both should be stocked 2x in the spring. Fishing will be best in the week or so after stocking then fish will spread out and adapt to feeding in the wild and get harder to catch. While numbers go down as fish are caught some fish will last over summer. into fall and even into the next year.

Fished at Como lake yesterday ...in the rain!
Fishing from the belly boat was good.

One thing I did notice that I have not observed in past years was quite a lot of dead trout near the shore ( where the 'boat launch' area is), beside the dock. Is this a normal occurrence? I get that some won't survive the transfer but it seemed like a lot to me?

No that's not normal. How many is a lot? I'll pass on the information to the hatchery.

I tried bottom fishing Lafarge yesterday along paved walkway.  Very few people out because of the rain.  So many weeds got in the way so I switched to float fishing. There were a few biters.  I didn't see any dead ones along the shore.

Can you PM me your phone # so the hatchery manager can give you a call for more details? They’d like to know more before sending someone down there to see.

Hey Rodney
PM sent

I guess at least dozen or so in the small area I paddled over at that spot... you can see them on the bottom. 
Not hundreds in view by any means, but as I said above, I have never seen this before.

I'm going again tomorrow afternoon....  I'll try to take a video/photo

Buntzen Lake is being stocked today.

Thanks for the updates Rod! Any idea when Rolley, Whonnock, or Hicks will be stocked?

Yeah, the gofishbc website is great for looking into past dates, thanks. But as you can see there is considerable variance when they do the actual stocking and was hoping that Rod might have some insight into this years planned dates.
