Extra Rainbows for the Big Lake

[zwiggles]

Heard from a friend that the F&G will be stocking several thousand excess rainbows in to the big lake this fall.  I was wondering if anyone else had also heard this? I heard they were younger fish, but it should help out next spring and winter at the least.

I helped stock them. They were 6 fish to the pound (roughly 6" each). We boat stocked them out of ames farm a few weeks ago.  I think it was 5 or 6 thousand fish in total. They might be legal size by the end of the ice fishing season. Winni got the lowest numbers of rainbows this spring in a while so this will definitely help.

Boat stocking was a very good idea.
I hope they keep it up.
That and the additional size at stocking will be a big help to the overall mortality.

Prolly gonna be some fat lakers (and smallies) next year, but that's good too.
