Been doing nothing but saltwater/offshore for the the last decade plus after being a strict bass fisherman and I wanna do some Huddleston big fish fishing this winter with my calico gear. Which lakes still get trout stocks? Which lake would I have the best chance at 8 + pounder on a big trout swim bait? I wanna catch bass strictly on trout swim baits haha. Haven’t even fished a lake since before San V opened up again. Wouldn’t mind driving
Morena 100%.
I don’t know why, but I always forget about Lake Morena. There are some huge bass in there still as a few buddies hit it each spring. Theres a few weeks somewhere in there where some days those bass are on the chew. Some days it’s either on or totally off from what I have been told. I’ve seen some pics of some huge bass that been caught around that time period.

Has it reopened yet? Last time I drove up there it was closed due to some kind of algae bloom
