Welcome to the best forum in town...any town. lol As far as fishing for stocked fish,unless you really love crowds and don't mind having your line tangled with six others',you should avoid it altogether on the same day they stock. I have always waited a day or two,but not always gotten a fish lol. It's basically a guessing game just like the rest of fishing until you have enough time spent on the water to gain the knowledge and experience. Until then,read,listen and learn is the best method. Oh, and NEVER GIVE UP!! haha
