Therefore, knowing that Big Lake is stocked with 150,000 3-inch rainbow trout in the spring doesn't help an angler know when the fishing is going to be good. At put-and-grow lakes (Big, Becker, Carnero, Chevelon, Luna, Crescent) it is better to watch the fishing report and angler reports to know when the fishing is good (typically best in spring and fall). FYI, Big Lake is also stocked with 50,000 brook trout fingerlings in the spring/summer, 18,000 cutthroat subcatchables (5-6 inch) in the spring/summer, and 55,000 rainbow subcatchables in the fall.
