Yeah, I don't like having them put in lakes where they sort of waste away. We have some colder water lakes like Battle Ground where they seem to do pretty good. Kress Lake in Cowlitz County isn't necessarily as cold as Battle Ground Lake, but they sure do good there too.

We used to food bank them or use other means to disperse them and it was decided that the anglers could be given another shot at them. It's been pretty successful.

We even put excess juvenile fish in some lakes whereas they use to head off into the big lake in the sky.

Sorry it took me so long to answer by the way!
