Those are the stocked trout. They're raised in ponds and fed pellet food. Terrible, not worth keeping, just take care to remove the hook and throw them back. Native trout do not have white meat.
The stoked trout, if they don't die, will eventually get bigger, eating the good food that trout eat.
Is that the one by knickerbocker bridge? Alton baker disc golf?Istouder25 I know exactly what you mean, my Son and I started fishing at Leaburg Lake. The stocker fish do have a habit of chilling at the main pool, lots of food there (anglers using bait). We noticed that the furthest we got away from the main pool there were larger and better fish. I recommend the boat ramp at Goodpastur (just below the bridge; wade up stream and try to be as quite as possible. I recommend Gold 1/4 oz spoons and Roostertails (Salmon Fly Brown). You need to fish deep, that is where the fish hang out. If you happen to have some red or orange lure tape add a small stripe on the underneath the Blade or spoon. The Fish come up from behind and just a small flash of red will entice a strike.
Stay safe on the water, take a friend with and share the fun and safety.
