After listening to Banker telling me about Castell trout stocking for the past year, I could hardly wait, and I surely was not disappointed. Wow, most every cast produced a trout of the quality I've never seen at other trout stockings. All fat and super sassy. Even saw a local on the bridge who stopped by to feed the trout three different times while we were there. A long drive for certain, but well worth the adventure. Many thanks to Chuck for letting me tag along.

Oh my goodness, the death star has taken over. Catyakker, the great fly fisherman, using a spinning reel and super dupers to catch trout. Darth Vador, aka Chuck, has now fully converted you to the dark side master Looks like an awesome trip and lots of fun guys. Thanks for bringing us along

Castell is a great out of the way place to visit especially if you can go Monday thru Thursday.
Banker, I'm convinced that gold #502's are all I need to have in my pocket when I can fish close to stocking day! I do have a few silver 501's that I need to try with a little extra weight so I can cast them.

Looks like a fun day. If you wanna stick with the buggy whip when they are taking super dupers hand over fist a #10-#12 Alexandra classic wet fly is the way to go. My little creek gets its dose of stockers tomorrow. I'll be up there amongst the crowds I guess.

I fished that area several years ago. Waded the river using my fly rod and had a ball catching small bass and numerous bluegill. It was summertime and the water was very clear. The fish were dressed up in their best colors.

Great trip guys. Good job. Side Note: I wanted to make it out there but could not fit that trip in. May be next year. Did you make a return trip this year?

Thanks Curtis for the reply. Did not make a return trip. I did however make several return trips to other stockings.
