10lb bass caught on public lake on Jefferson Forest

[Dr. Phil]

KDFWR put 500 bass in Tom Wallace on 10/23/2008:

There was a gentleman from KDFWR there doing creel surveys when I was there yesterday morning. Talking with him, I got the impression that FiNs stockings were still going strong.

I was told that the KDFWR quit stocking largemouth in 2007 but did stock striped bass in 2007 and 2008. I should have specified largemouth bass in my previous post. Tom Wallace and other FINS lakes do get trout, catfish, and sunfish. This is just what I was told by a trusted source and by no means should be taken as gospel.

No disrespect to your "trusted source," but they're wrong on this one. KDFWR did actually try stocking hybrids in Tom Wallace, Miles, and a couple of the other FiNs lakes in 2007. It was a miserable failure, not likely to be repeated. But they're still putting largemouth in there regularly.
