There's a small tributary that flows in about a quarter mile before the creek meets the reservoir, and that holds trout too. I know people may think I'm full of it for saying this but I once caught a WILD TIGER TROUT from that little trickle. It was about 6 inches and had the unmistakeable markings and perfect fins.

I miss that little river. Thanks for sharing your reports on it, it really takes me back.
Lard, I spoke to a F&G biologist this year and was told only rainbows are being stocked now. They don't want to interfere with the native browns and brookies.
