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

I don't have any inside info, but I might make a phone call and see what I can find out. My guess is, it is two-fold, it is to provide some trout fishing opportunity at that body of water, and they are probably wanting to see if they notice and big improvement in the size of the bass.

I was on the lake yesterday, the day of the stocking, and spoke with Fish and Wildlife and asked them what the deal on putting Trout in the lake was. I was told it was to make it a better winter fishery, one more species to fish for, and to bring in more funds for Fish and Wildlife. I took it that he meant more licenses will be sold along with Trout Stamps. I would think it will help the local economy (some) as far as dollars it will bring in, if people fish for these things this winter. I know of one shop it will help, I hope any way. I think that we agreed that the Bass will like them also. I got to meet the new Creel Inspector. Seemed like a nice guy to me, I took it he is new at this so keep that in mind if you run into him. I drove by 2 ramps and people where lined up fishing for them and catching them. I like to eat Trout myself so I will say I will try for them this winter, along with Bass fishing. I really don’t think it will make a huge difference as far as putting more boats on the lake, but I will say the bank fishing will get crowed. I am just hoping it won’t mean more trash on the banks.
