You are 200% right

Honestly wish the would make the river a TCA from KLG all the Wild trout section of river in long valley.

Lots of wild trout in this section and so many more would come if the lowered the stocking and the pressure dropped

Isnt this the same fish?? Maybe its been caught already??

That's Hoffman's Crossing. Wasn't it caught there last year? Looks like the same fish with the scar there.

Look at the trees and plants in the picture everything is green. Thats the early spring not now

The guys waders look like a 12 year old bicycle inner tube . But nice azz fish thou.....

Looks like the same fish to me?? Who knows...maybe the above video is last yrs with a recent yt posting??
Bart makes for a pretty convincing santa!!

Fish probably went straight onto a stringer but people are suppose to C&R the fish to receive the prize

It was better years ago when they never did videos about the stocking to be honest

I agree, look at the yellow bloomed bush in the background. I'd bet that picture is from late April. Some of the trees have buds as well.

That's a Forsythia, means the Hendrickson's are hatching...

That's exactly what it is. The old timer farmers used to look to that bloom for when to apply crabgrass pesticides to the grass, as they both bloom around the same time. That's the system I use too!

It also means shad are running!
