Stocked trout caught right after the stock are pretty safe to eat.

@@SaTanBaits what about now? I’m going tomorrow with my son and ideally I’ll like to snack on what we catch. What are your thoughts?

@@stanleywilliams6136 California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) did a study on the fish at Puddingstone in 2019.

The following link provides details on fish consumption advisory at Puddingstone. oehha.ca.gov/media/downloads/advisories/puddingstoneresposter.pdf

Google maps 🤡

It’s called crystal lake u bozo

4 LB Berkley Low-Vis Green Nanofil tied to a 4 LB Daiwa J-Fluoro Leader

This is a 9’ 4 weight 4 piece fly rod. The blank was purchased and wrapped into a spinning rod.

@@SaTanBaits If you know how i can purchase one please let me know?

The 1/64 oz. Mini jig was thrown with a rattle bobber. The rattle bobber has small BB’s to give the bobber more weight for further casts. Also the 4 Lb nanofil will help with casting distance.

Thank you. The 9’ rod is nice for throwing mini jigs and bobbers and jig rigs with long leaders. An 8’ UL rod should be good for throwing jigs as well.

Trout are stocked from Department of Fish and Wildlife (typically Spring-Fall). There is bass and green sunfish in the lake as well. Lake is mainly dependent on rain and snow for its water level. It may get some water from a spring as well. No inlets or outlets.

Yes, limit is 5 trout (no size restrictions) and 5 catfish (no size restrictions).

Glad you enjoyed it!

Per US Forest Service Website, you are not allowed to swim in the lake. No restrictions on launching boats, float tubes, or kayaks at this time.

Unfortunately, yes. Stocking days can be way worse. This season had about 50 people waiting for the truck and last stock at Ralph Clark had 100 people fishing right after the stock I hear.

Thank you. OC Parks did good job stocking this year compared to last season.

No problem! Glad you enjoyed the video.

Thank you for subscribing, I hope you enjoy the content.

About once a month. This is the fish and game's trout stocking schedule for Puddingstone Lake: nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FishPlants/Default.aspx?water=Puddingstone+Lake&time=All

Yes. As often as you look at the DFG Plants.

I’ve seen largemouth bass and green sunfish in there before.

There is a trail outside the camping area on the south shore you can take to get there that goes along the lake.

@@SaTanBaitsthanks man! i found it cuz of this comment gonna try and hit it up this weekend i got one last weekend!

Thank you @SouthernFisherman!!! Trying to get back into posting videos in between fishing trips!

The CDFW will typically stock 10-12” trout (catchable). However, you may also occasionally see 6-8” trout and some in 13-15” range. This year they have been stocking more trout in 1-2 pound range, but they are less frequent than the average size.

Thank you, this video was taken back in April. Not as many people were chasing trout with other options available at the time. Also, DFW tend to stock smaller trout compare to Private Stocks at SARL, SB County Parks, etc.

In clear water, I tend to prefer natural colors. This video I used Green Pumpkin, Black/Purple, Black/Mint, and even gold.

I agree, I wish they would split the stock and put some in at the marina instead of dumping all 5000 pounds in cleghorn, but I’m sure a lot of them made it there eventually.

They have stocked at the marina before, but it caused too much chaos. People starting fishing off the boat ramp, and the dock, and the game warden yelling at everyone. It was quite funny. @@SaTanBaits

@@ScoutingWater I remember maybe 5 years back seeing 10 guys jigging the launch ramp in the marina with 20-40 trout swimming back and forth. I told my friend to go to miller and we fished there with a few other guys until everyone on the launch ramp got kicked out by the ranger and came to miller as well. 😅

There’s two ways I jig the bobber. First is to twitch the bobber a few times while reeling in slack, pause and repeat. Fish will usually hit the jig when it’s sitting. Second is to constantly twitch the bobber and reel all the way back. Speed of retrieve and length of leader will determine depth the jig is at. Both methods work, but just depends on what the fish want. Not sure if rattles attract the fish, but they are helpful in adding weight for further casts.

This spot is by the campground. You can hike there from the south or north shore.

The rod used in this video is a custom 9’ 4 weight fly rod I bought from a small company.

Thank you Ryan. That’s good to know, we definitely want to try panfishing it this year as well.

Yes, there should be plenty of holdovers spread out around the entire lake. Any small cove may be holding some trout.

@@ejo4454 You have to pay to get in, there is no freeloading. The whole point of stocking trouts is for everyone to fish them. Learn to be less greedy.

@@walden6272 Generally, what you are implying is because you dont know how to fish - let alone catch a limit - it requires sharing. Flip the coin over!!

@@ejo4454 That has not been my experience in real life. Fishing is a gentlemen sport and favorite past time of many kind people. Fishermen I have encounter in person often share their knowledge with each other to help one another catch more fish. Fishing is a passion and sharing that passion with even strangers is part of it. I do the same for others too if they fish at areas I am familiar with. Luckily I have not meet much people like you.

@walden6272 Only read first sentence. Get to the point.

Thank you @Crappie_Day! 🙏

Thank you very much for the kind words. I prefer using just the 1/32 oz. Mini Jig when I can, but bobber fishing can be extremely effective especially for panfish. It’s also fun to watch the bobber go down. 😅

Thank you. Yes, license required if you are 16 years old or older.

Yes, you can get a daily pass for $5 or 12 month pass for $35 which will allow you to buy a second vehicle 12 month pass for an additional $5.

@@SaTanBaits at7-11 or turners?

⁠@@user-ld7kp5ls5dthey are currently available at Young’s Tackle (Bellflower, CA), Performance Tackle (Los Alamitos, CA), and Longfin Tackle (Orange, CA).

This rod is a 9’ 4 weight fly rod converted into a spinning rod. Action is moderate fast.

@@SaTanBaits oh that’s why ! Seems like a lot of people are doing that now but I wouldn’t mess with a fly rod unless it’s a cheap one. But it seems more flimsy than a moderate fast 🤔 idk.

@@KimchiJerry FYI it's a slow action rod. Like a old Kencor PAC 73 Japanese S glass . I have been fishing mini jigs since the 80's. IMO a 5' Kencor is 1-6 Lb is best for float tube fishing. You can achieve the same jig action by extending your index finger while reeling; letting the line bump your finger as the bail turns if your rod tip is not as parabolic. Nothing will cast as far as a slow fly rod blank or kencor style rod. But if you are tubing distance should not matter.
