Anyone catching any?

I went to stones but they were running water and didn't get a bite. I have YET to catch one of these things. Are they still catchable a week after being stocked? Considering going to Cedar Hill Park in Madison today?
 
I have caught them before weeks after being stocked. Only thing I have ever been able to catch them on is a white, yellow, or hot pink rooster tail. I can get bites on other stuff but that is all I have caught them on
 
They stocked them at Martin the other day but I haven't had a chance to go yet.
Gonna try to go one afternoon this week.
My go to on them is a yellow rooster tail with a silver blade on flurocarbon line.
Until I switched to flurocarbon they were almost impossible for me to catch.
 
Freshly stocked trout are one of the dumbest creatures known to man. So dumb, they can be impossible to catch for reasons no one can explain. My advice as a fly fisherman and not knowing much about catching them on conventional gear. Try salmon eggs, stockers see lots of eggs while in the tanks and are accustomed to feeding on them
 
I take my kids fishing for them in Gburg in the summer and we destroy the stockers with redworms and a split shot to keep them on the bottom. They taste like what I would imagine canned dog food tastes like. I'm not really sure what all the hullabaloo is all about.

When Im fishing for real trout out west for shore supper, I use Rapalas to target the big fish that taste like wild caught salmon. Sacrilege I know, but when we go to elk camp, we rely on the trout for protein until we kill an elk.

Truer words have never been spoken. I'd rather eat wet cat food then a stocker trout. Disgusting meal.

the wild ones are pretty tasty, but not those fresh stockers. Yuck
