Yes. Two young men were arrested for having 121 trout in possession about two years ago in the fall. The Game Warden just kept pulling ice chests out of the back of his pickup shell.

More likely you are not interested in that but this:
Gull Lake (64 acres) is probably the next best lake. It is also perfect for float tubes with tule reedbeds along the northern shoreline. This is an excellent area for damsel nymphs and callibaetis nymphs. Tugging some streamers between the Big Rock and the Aspen Trees along the western shoreline will pick up fish. Most of the trout in Gull Lake are 10-14 inch Rainbow stockers. The lake recieves about 38,000 Rainbows annually as well as 5,000 cutthroats. Also, the marina purchases about 500 trophy-sized Rainbows from Alper's Ranch. There are a number of larger holdovers, however. The lake record for Rainbows is 13 Lbs. 3 oz. Gull also has a few remaining Browns and Brookies. A 6 Lb. 12 oz Brookie caught at Gull Lake in 1968 was a U.S. Record. There are a number of entry points for float tubes. The picnic area behind the Big Rock is popular place to put in as well as the boat ramp near the campgrounds. Use an intermediate or Type I sinking line with a 9 foot 4x leader. The water is less clear than Silver Lake and the fish are less leader-shy.

Just curious....Why the heck did you wait 5 years for your first post?
