According to the DFW planting info (
https://map.dfg.ca.gov/fishing/), aerial planting was conducted at specific lakes in the Grouse Ridge area last year. I'm not big on pellet-eaters, but these fish do hold over in these lakes and make viable fisheries. Some in the past were planted with Kamloops and were epic until they were wiped out by bait guys.
Anyway.....the point of my post is.......we fished Sawmill Lake a month ago. This lake was listed as being planted in 2017 with rainbows. So we expected to catch a few small rainbows along with the resident brown trout. We fished all day, and all we caught were brown trout. No signs of any rainbows at all, which I found strange.
I'm not a conspiracy guy, but I am very skeptical when it comes to the CA DFW.
Has anyone been into any of the lakes in the area and noticed any new fish??? Most of the lakes in that area have had very few fish the last few years. So it should be evident if any fish have been planted in the lakes the DFW claims to have planted.
Not asking for specific lakes, but would just like to know if DFW is telling the truth.
Thanks all,
