This lagoon is no longer stocked with trout as of 2008. There are bass, but trout were a primary food source and they got to over 5 pounds. There may be bass left but they inhabit the South end and it requires a boat to access it. I have not caught anything here in over a year. Too bad, it used to be a place you could bring the kids.

Yeah in Jan. didn't have much luck, caught a few rainbows but nothin to brag about. Over Feb and April though I caught 2 18" rainbows and I had success every time I went. For trout I use power bate and they seem to like the green stuff the best. The bass are in there too they are just a little less active during the cold months. Now that it's startin to heat up a bit I'm gonna see if there biting next time I go. I usually use lures to catch the bass. Any way hope this helped and good luck.
