State Division of Wildlife Officer Garth Carter stocked Hidden Lake Monday for the upcoming fishing season. Carter explained that the fish had been raised at the Loa Hatchery and were transported to the lakes by tank truck. Water from the lake is pumped into the truck to adjust the temperature of the water in the tank to that of the lake. The fish are then stocked by hand, with the exception of the last load in the truck, which is drained through a pipe. Carter said that he keeps the lake stocked to the point where the average angler should hook one fish every 45 minutes. He said that the stocking trips are usually family outings. In the above picture, Carter's son Jason lends a hand. |
