I was curious to see if DFG actually stocked this lake this week. So I grabbed my two trout rods and my daughter for a quick morning session at el Legg.

Didn't see too many anglers today. So I thought to myself "dayam they didnt stock yet". Oh well time on the water with my kid was rewarding enough.

My daughter threw out some bubblegum powerbait...she really liked the color. I stuck to old faithful an inflated N/C. Some 20 minutes later my bobber starts to get jiggy wid it. I grabbed the rod and set the hook....fish on...baby! Called my daughter and gave her the rod to play a little tug of war with the fish. To my amazement in comes a 12" rainbow trout. I gently catch and release the trout and informed my daughter the ethics of catch and release. She understood and waved good bye to her catch.
Rebaited and 20 minutes later...my bobber slowly moves again. I set the hook...fish on...gave my rod to my daughter and she reels in another trout. This one was tiny probably about 6" or so my daughter turns to me and says "daddy this one is a baby we need to let it go." My heart sank as I was proud of my lil one.

After another 20 minutes grandma calls and tells us she wanted to have lunch. We packed it up and drove home for our luncheon with grandma and grandpa. Thanks for the read. Tight lines.

DFG stocked so go get'em!

Thanks for all the kind replies..

I dunno if I caught last stockings trout or this weeks stocking. All I know we caught 2 in 40 minutes. The trout were perfect size for a lmbass to swallow.

Try fishing the big lake..I believe lake #1.
