I cannot say for sure if they feed their fish heavily before they stock....but how would feeding your fishing before they are stocked, kill them in the transitional process from hatchery to lake???
I know for a fact they do not stock every week, i grew curious when i would go fish behind the bait shop and fish and do very well, i could see schooling fish in the distance with my polarized glasses, surfacing fish, and an overall higher activity level. soooooo i decided to stake the place out! got my hunting scope which is a simmons 5-15x40mm. I found a spot with great visibility of about 80 percent of the lake from about a half mile away and began the stake out... off and on from wed till thurs i watched to see them stock trout. I began wed early 7 am till 11 then took a lunch came back a little before 12 and waited till 4pm, nothing.....Same thing the next day.....I could have missed the stocking during my lunch break but highly unlikely. Also the man in the golf cart told me they stock on thurs so i highly doubt they stocked it another day....unless he is lying which could very well be the case. lol, also; jess ranch says they are coming up in the world with better fishing and overall better facility and rules...what a joke, they stock 500 pounds of fish in each lake when they actually stock. these people are scam artists at their best. the hospitality is bad, customer service is terrible and the lady at the front desk needs to chill out.
