Brooders do not get listed as a stocking schedule. So those trout over 20 inches do not show on the list. Also, hagg lake gets a ton of fish that hold over through the closed months. And there are native trouts from the rivers that head in the lake.
Have you guys seen the following the stocking truck gets with the 8-10" plants? Think how many "people" would be stalking the stocking truck if they listed the brooders.
I agree that chasing stockers is not great sport and I usually only do it with the kids (or if I have an hour to kill). However, in looking around the lake while I am fishing with my kids it appears that a lot of the folks there may not have the money necessary for gas to fish other than in close by waters. To me it looks like a lot of the folks that you are mocking might be fishing for food. How many limits does it take to pay for your license? I am not sure. I am happy that I can afford to go fishing different places and have enough money to own the equipment necessary to fish for different species. However, I know that this is not true for everyone and so I try and keep an open mind when I see folks fishing intensely for stocked trout. While for me it is a fun way to spend time with the kids, for others it may be something far more important.
