By june they probably are stocking some local lake in your neck of the woods. Take him to where you caught that spawner if they want trout.

no that is one of two trout pay to fish ponds the other one has bigger fish. this place is loaded with fish and yesterday their was like eight of them and i got her. 18$ for first three and 5 for extra the average fish size was 12 inches and i got an extra foot owner thought she weighed 8 pounds don't think he has wearing his glasses. but he also wasn't happy at the size of the fish because it was twice as big. but rules are rules

yes i am 8'' is a record there for a rainbow 12'' you would be famous there. we bought him a five weight and are going to teach him and he is excited.

ok next question would be where do you live ? i can see by comments that you dont or cant go far. i can think of several places that he can get fish over 12" very easily

Those blokes in England catch roach so getting the whole meal deal is foreign to them. FF, again take them to a local stocked lake. Check the stocking info as it comes out around then. Some lakes after being stocked are pretty darn good.

Lafarge & Green Timbers can be good at any times after even the first stocking. I have 1 fly that will catch me fish everytime out there, might only be one fish sometimes but its not a skunking LOL

Lafarge is best if you have a small boat or float tubes or something so you can cover the lake better and get away from the shoreline and people walking by.

those two lakes are probably my favourite local heavily stocked lakes. biggest fish out of either is 5lbs

Anglers can expect to see stockings at two-week intervals at Lafarge, Como, Green Timbers, Rice, Mill, Sasamat and Deer Lake in May and June as they are in the Fishing in the City program.

While the exact stocking dates are not known yet, one can expect stockings being done just before the BC Family Fishing Weekend.

You can also try fly fishing for BIG carp at Lafarge Lake.

Pretty sure you have " confused with lbs.

Secondly, you would be doing yourself a huge diservice by not taking the time to drive to the interior. In two hours from mission you can be into some amazing rainbow fishing at that time of year.

sorry i stand corrected but the most common size is 8 inches  but the family member was shocked at the size of the fish .
