Cedar Creek Lake to receive first stocking of rainbow trout on Oct. 2

Guess I will get out to Cedar next month and throw one of these for a fat bass dining on stockers.

Bass love trout. Providing the Otters in that lake don't eat them all in the first three weeeks, maybe the bass will get some.

Bunches of them. I see them almost everytime I go there now. Families of them going down the bank eating fish like it's their last day on earth. I hate Otters..

that is a good looking bait, is it a Spro swimbait?

Okay so they stock the trout and i am guessing that the large mouth in cedar creek have never seen a trout. Do you think the bass will do what comes naturally and just eat the trout? Trout not being part of their natural forage. I dont ever see myself throwing a trout swimbait in a lake without trout. I know its kinda deep, just trying to think like a bass so to speak.

Bass eat trout like we like candy an chocolate cake. Trust me if they stick them in there the bass will stuff themselves with them. Not only are they attracted to them because they are colorful and stream line but they are loaded with protein and increase bass growth like no other forage. This is why, coupled with the warm climate that California grows such hogs. Trout make bass grow fat and sassy and they will eat the tar out of them...

I usually buy a trout stamp just to increase the variety of fish that I fish for. I don't know about Cedar Creek but from what I've seen on the other FIN lakes the trout are mostly caught and removed within 2 weeks of them being stocked. My gut feeling is most of the people catching and taking them do not have a trout stamp either.

No, that is a 3:16 Lure Co. swimbait. Guy named Mickey Ellis makes them by hand in California. They are super expensive but a lot of the big bass chasers in California use his baits. If you get a chance to read the book "Sowbelly" it tells the story of how he got into building lures.

There is no doubt in my mind that the sole reason for the stocking isn't to increase opportunities for trout fishing.Rather, the main goal for cedar creek is to make it a trophy bass fishery. That's why the creel limit is 1 LM over 20" on Cedar, the goal is create a fatty rich forage for the Largemouths and I'm all for it. It's like feeding a body builder whey protein.

Thinking you called it. But still would like to have info from KDFWR on stocking program for CC.
