Was out camping this week and saw the fish truck pull up to the lake. Hurried over with my wife and daughters and watched him put 1800 +/- 20cm rainbows into the lake. Was a neat experience, I waded in to help some of the fish recover from shock of being transplanted but over all they seemed to do well. We even caught and released a few of them the next day. Pretty successful stocking program at this particular lake, longest fish landed for me was 21".
