Back in the early 70's while doing survey work for a freeway project, we discovered that some of the barrow pits that had filled up with water had small trout in them. On mentioning it to an ODFW employee in the area, he informed us that the pits had been stocked with bass and the small trout were actually steelhead smolts planted there to feed the bass. The dummies, those poor bass probably starved to death since they did'nt eat salmonoids.
