Trout stocking at Barrett

[falafeluver]

Let’s say it was allowed or could happen, a one-time dropping of raised trouts and would this produce larger largemouth bass?

The trout probably wouldn't be around for as many seasons needed to make a difference. Lakes that a annually stocked are the ones that make a difference.

A yearly stocking of tilapia might. They would eat that nasty filamentous algae that infests the lake in the summer too. They would have to be restocked every year as they die off when the water temperature drops below 55F. The Mexican lakes with the big bass have tilapia (year around though). They grow real fast so only fingerlings would need to be stocked.

Now that’s a very interesting idea!
