Trout Stocked In Bull

[Quillback]

I always see question where people are asking if trout are still being stocked in Bull. From the AGFC District 2 newsletter they apparently are stocking them this spring.

Stocking: So far in 2013 our fish hatcheries have stocked 175,238 rainbow trout. We will begin stocking lake fish later in the spring. If the Bull Shoals reservoir trout have not been stocked in March, they will be stocked the first week of April. The lake should receive about 30,000 rainbows from net pens operated at 3 marinas or resorts.

30" is a brute! I punched that into a fish weight calculator and got 11 lbs. and that's assuming normal girth.

I wonder if the AGFC has ever considered stocking triploids?
