2017 Fall Trout

[Castaway]

Anyone know when they post the fall stocking info?

Someone had asked about this on another forum about a month ago. Here's my reply...

"As it presently stands the schedule has yet to be officially finalized but barring any un-foreseen dire events the tentative schedule will follow last year's schedule, adjusted of course for the present calendar. That is, the 2nd and 3rd weeks of Oct for the fall with the waters and days of stocking to retain the same sequence as last fall. Again barring any un-foreseen events the 'winter' stocking should likewise mimic last year's schedule."

As of now this still holds true, the schedule has not yet been officially nailed down. That being said, the above should give you a pretty could idea of what to expect. As for fish sizes and numbers you can likewise expect those to mirror last year's pretty closely. Hopefully this will help you in your trip planning.

I wonder what portion of the 2,650 for the S/B goes into KLG.

It would be more informative if they gave a rough estimation of how much trout they do at each stocking point. I understand how that's a bit TOO informative however.

Im ready to catch my first non-spring-stockie trout however.

I'd say most. 65-70%? If it can sustain that influx of population. I'm sure the fisheries folks aim to strike a balance with existing populations there. 2650 pieces of esox bait LOL

Really? I thought because the place already has a lot of holdovers (supposedly wild born trout too?) that they dont overcrowd it. It's TCA afterall.

2000 trout will go into the KLG for the fly guys, you shlubs can fight over the other 650 with your spinning rods.
I helped fall stock the KLG one year, it was disgusting the amount of trout they put into that 2 mile stretch of water.
