Some lakes get planted with bigger trout from the get-go. Take a look at the trout stocking report on WDFW's web site. The report will show how big the fish being planted are. For example: 4.00 fish per pound are the small 8-10" fish. The smaller the number, fish per pound, the bigger the fish. There are a lot of lakes out there that get planted with 3.00 fish per pound or better.

Hope this helps.
