Does anyone know if they’re stocking Trumble, Big Virginia and Little Virginia lakes in the Eastern Sierras?

Hi Karen!! I fish all 3 from time to time. I heard that in their infinite wisdom that the DFW said they're not going to stock Trumball at all--- why, I don't know. They are stocking both of the Virginias, and the BFEP (Bridgeport Fish Enhancement Progrm) stocks up there as well. In fact they just stocked Big V with over 900lbs averaging 3-5 pounds!!! The Resort is finally up and running after the huge snow this year!! Good Luck!! My go to up there in all the lakes are inflated nightcrawlers on a sliding sinker outfit with enough weight to get out to the deeper waters!! Also have some Garlic scented power bait-- I use Rainbow Glitter!! Go get em!!

Thanks so much for the reply. I heard something like that but I just couldn’t believe they were, more or less, letting Beautiful Trumble lake, go as a great fishing spot. I can’t imagine what they’re thinking. But good for the other two lakes. They’re great people and there little store and restaurant be successful.

They are cool people-- The Webbs. Carolyn gave my buddy Holy Hell some years back for bringing in a nice 2lb Brookie to the shop for a picture!! She told him he should have released it because they breed in the lakes--- they're not stocked!! He kind of cooled her jets by telling her it was "gut hooked" and bleeding pretty good. She cooled down and apologized and gave us each a beer!! Will never forget the look on his face when she tore into him--- poor guy!!! He hasn't kept one since--- that was good enough to be released!! Too funny!!

I'm imagining a Carolina rig? What's the leader length? Or you just let it go float as high as it wants to?

If the water is clear enough, I'll go 6" above the highest weeds. Usually I'll start out at 18-24 inches with a split shot & slider if nothing is visible. Hope that helps!!
