If you post the stocking date...expect a million anglers with you.
They stocked Allen Bill 4 times in 2010 starting in May. Not sure yet for this year. It gets hit very, very hard and the limit is 5 a day. You have to go there fast. Using a size 16 black chironomid under a bobber takes its fair share of the school as it swims by. Also just try a hook wrapped in dark brown wool. Fish pellet fly.
This limit of 5 is way to high for the fishing pressure. Two years ago I went there 2 weeks after stocking and the chance of a kid catching a trout is zero. Allen Bill and Mclean should both be 2 a day...max. Did anyone fish these two lakes a lot last year? If so what were the catch rates over the Summer?
Over the summer 2010 they stocked 9,900 trout in Allen Bill. 6000 in 2009. Zero in 2008.
Over the summer they stocked 7,100 trout in Mclean Pond. 7290 in 2009. 7200 in 2008.
These ponds may require heavier stocking but there is a huge cost. Being so close to Calgary it probably makes more sense if you were to keep the 5 a day to up the stocking by adding a few more truck deliveries during the Summer. The alternative is to spread the harvest out fairly over the Summer and maintain some fish to catch...
