A friend told me he saw the trout stocking truck at DVL last Friday. Is it true or was he just trying to fire me up?

Those guy's at DVL are getting tricky. The photo of the truck he sent me said "Mojave River Hatchery" on the side of it.

Sunday too!
Trout were "hiding" next to shore from what awaits them if they swim out into deep water!
trout were stocked in 2 locations on friday 10/14.

I did a guide trip on sat we caught stripers at the inlet and trout at the second stocking spot of the trout, the clients were kinda rookies so they had fun throwng lures at the trout,the big stripers will figure out were they are pretty quick and murder the crap out of them,,,,,,,,,,

Hey Kwin I was wondering was the trout stock this past week the DVL bi weekly stock or the DFG stock?
Thanks

Toads - I believe it was the DFG because they were pretty small stockers. They were all schooled up in the marina right next to the boat rental dock. I was out there for the first time on saturday but got the skunk it's all good.
Here's what they said on their website "DFG stocked trout for the first time this year. Our Mt.Lassen trout plant is scheduled for the week of October 24th."

They were feasting deep though not on the stockers yet, it was the first stocking, give it a couple more stockings and the jailbirds will be lined up for dinner.

Makes me kinda almost feel bad for trout. Poor little things basically stuck in these lakes as eventual striper food. LOL, I wonder if theyd get picked on as much if there were more browns in there.
I had a trout use me as a blocking guard recently, went right thru my legs and just in front of me (3' or so) a big striper did a uturn, smart trout.

My opinion, they should just raise the stockers to be about 3lbs and then stock them, that way, they have a better chance of survival but then again, the DD linesides will be lined up to feast on them. Imagine that, a school of DD stripers just cruising around the marina area waiting for their meals to be dumped in hahaha

My first trip to lake San antonio I went to the tackle shop on the boat dock where your not allowed to fish. Saw a gang of minnows or shad one of the two. After watching em for a few I saw like 3 striped just start feasting those things. It was crazy it took everything within me to contain myself.

They are fun to see coming out from the deep.
We rolled our pontoon right into an area and saw thousands
of shad run right under the toon...seconds later a bunch of striperss
rolled up from the deep clear water and went on a rampage.
Caught 2 in around 6 lbs before it died off.
Did see a few in the 20's in the mix.

I had a school of mini jailbirds swim under our rental at Skinner before it was cool to see so many of them just chasing the shad. A question about dipnetting for shad. Do you just pull up to the school and just dip the shad net down and get them or do you have to slowly put the net in the water and slowly move it towards the school? Thanks.
