Based off Brian's post, looks correct.

I heard from someone who was on the call during the meeting. C&R only starting April 1. Regular season opener on the 11th. All fish except for 40,000 are already stocked and those remaining will go in the water shortly. Thanks for the F&G workers for getting it all done.

Very concerned about the amount of dead trout there will be floating on Wednesday and Thursday
