Stocked rainbow trout at catchable sizes are eager biters, which are ideal for entry level anglers and kids who may find it challenging to catch a fish. Urban lakes are typically stocked between March and June, September and November but fish can be caught year-round. The most common, basic fishing method for rainbow trout is bait fishing. This article demonstrates two styles of bait fishing that can be quite effective in stocked lakes.
Restocking. A pond stocked in fall with 2-4â trout will produce many small but usable trout the first year. If you fish these small fish lightly, you may catch some trout weighing 1Â½ to 2 pounds (15-16â) during the second year. Waiting another year or two for a 2-pound trout to grow larger may not be worthwhile.
