So excited.

Complete list you can set it by city, or county. Time to get the grand kids out to the park ponds.

Trout Stocking Schedule 2015-2016

Out of interest what flies do people usually have success with?

when I was fishing it before I came up to CO, egg patterns, psycho prince, hare's ear wooly buggers

many thanks

For Stocker Trout in our area, have had good success with a Tandem Rigged Olive Near Deere (or Olive Wooley Bugger) and GRHEN (trailing fishing fly).

Also, usually keep a BH Prince Nymph in Olive as well as Brown in the fly box. Will also do the same with the GRHEN.

For Dry Flies, Black Midge and Griffiths Gnat seem to be consistent; just be sure to match the hatch size. They get picky especially when the evening hatch happens at the Frisco Commons in Frisco.

FYI: Sorted the schedule by date, city, and then stocking location. Gives a ready reference by date to see what locations are getting stocked for a given date! Post.

Do we have any idea about what time of day they do these stockings? I'd like to fish one tomorrow before heading out of state to do holiday family stuff

I heard of someone tying a size 32 griffiths gnat at PK....Seriously....

lol I've seen 12 pound cuttbows eat that stuff at the hog trough. That's just to small 24 is small enough. Don't forget they are pellet heads pellet flys work well. Running water best luck with small midges zebras and hares ear phesant tales. In still water surprised no one has mentioned damsel nymph in olive or o course buggers.

... Rain has us indoors. Did make a Fishing Lanyard using Paracord. Might as well do something related to fishing! Post.

the fish will pretty much eat anything when they are first stocked. The hatchery stops feeding them 4-5 days before they are transported to clean out their digestive tract. Reason being they don't want the trouts waste to fill up the small transporting tanks creating a cesspool that will quickly kill the already cramped and stressed fish during transportation. larger size flies are normally better when the fish are first stocked as is a more aggressive retrieve. ie stripping buggers or small streamers instead of fishing small flies under an indicator. I really like a size 10-14 bugger in white, yellow, brown or olive. if they don't seem interested in chasing a bugger an egg fly under an indicator with one of the flies robert mentioned dropped of the egg is hard to beat. fish around till you find a pod of fish then work them over.

... getting cabin fever. Made another fishing lanyard out of paracord. Thin one is for Summer quick trips. This one required a paracord fid to make the fly box holder. Not readily available in our area. Did see online that one could be made using a binder screw post. So, picked one up for $1 and turned it on the lathe to make it. Post.

Went across the border to Oklahoma and got a round of Trout Fishing in at Turner Falls! Had to get some Trout Fishing in while we wait for Bethany Lakes' stocking later in December. Limited out; had a great time. Saw no other fishermen! Working on the video. Will post later.
