Here is a cut from the lake that the trout went into.

"No private boats, float tubes, or paddle boats are allowed (by order of the Water District)

Santa Ana River Lakes is open seven days a week with fishing allowed from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. on day passes or from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. on an evening pass. Each of these passes is $22. Seniors pay only $20. All of these passes have a five-fish limit. For kids 4 to 13, a three-fish pass is just $9. There are 24-hour passes available every Friday and Saturday. These 24-hour passes cost $60 and anglers can bring a spouse and up to three kids to help fill the 24-hour pass 15-fish limit. Camping at SARL is also free with a 24-hour pass. "

Maybe we don't have fish that large when stocked, but they do have the opportunity to grow. The fish you saw, don't last through the summer because the water heats up too much. I'm happy to pay the $25.66 instead of fishing under these conditions. No doubt in my mind that we have things better up here.

they stock huge palamino's like this in a river by my parents house in north carolina...they are fun to catch though...like a monster golden trout. The river is all catch and release though...

We got 590 rainbow trout stocked yesterday.....but when they stock they use clear plastic tubes so you can see the fish come off of the truck.
